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.

Under £5

2008 Les Andides Saumur

An affordable dry Loire Valley white wine made from chenin blanc, this is a consistent performer for Waitrose; crisp and appley with a lingering bone-dry finish.

£4.99, down from £6.49, until 18 August, Waitrose

Under £10

2006 Domaine Vistalba Viñalba Malbec/Syrah

The best red on Asda's shelves at the price, this is an aromatic example with the opulent black cherry flavour only Argentina seems to manage with malbec; a Patagonian blend of rare distinction.

£7.48, Asda

Splash out

2008 Forty Knots Sauvignon Blanc

From South Island's Awatere Valley, this Kiwi sauvignon hits the spot with its passion-fruit flavours and the green-pepper characters of this cool climate Marlborough sub-region.

£12.99, Marks & Spencer
