Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

RSVP

From the super-talented woman behind east London's Rochelle Canteen (and wife of Fergus 'St John' Henderson) comes You're All Invited, a beautifully-presented compendium of easy and delicious recipes, from breakfast dishes such as spicy eggs to the perfect Sunday roast. Guaranteed to have you wanting seconds. £25, published by Fig Tree

Metal guru

The third Conran interiors collection for M&S is bang on. From shelving units to lamps and dining chairs, we are smitten. If we had to settle for just one piece, it would be the bamboo Kirby desk with blue metal legs. £229, marksandspencer.com

Marching orders

Jimmy Choo's aptly-titled 'Porno Camo' range sees burlesque silhouettes in a military print on shoes and accessories. Probably best worn not all at once. From £265, jimmychoo.com

Get roped in

Aram Store introduces an exclusive range of contemporary rugs from the fabulous fashion and design studio Eley Kishimoto. There are various bold colourways to choose from – such as the dreamy rope design – and each is hand-tufted. Frankly, they're far too nice to stand on. From £850, aram.co.uk

Behind the scenes

Theatre of War collates 7,000 largely unseen images from Cecil Beaton's lesser-known portfolio for the Ministry of Information during the Second World War, documenting people's lives at a time of conflict. From Thursday, Imperial War Museum, iwm.org.uk

Animal magic

It's a tongue-twister of a title, but then Kristjana S Williams, the artist behind Anachroquarianism, is adept at twisting things, here creating imaginary creatures from classic natural history imagery. Prints from £85, Shapero Rare Books, shapero.com
