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.

Pastry lovers everywhere, rejoice - Greggs could soon be delivered right to your front door.

That’s right, the food-on-the-go firm are trialling a new service called Greggs Delivered from today, which will see savouries and cakes brought to the comfort of people's homes.

The venture is being rolled out in Newcastle, but with any luck it will soon be expanding nationwide.

The 14,000-plus strong workforce at Cobalt Business Park in North Tyneside is the first to test the new service, with workers able to order their sandwiches, salads and sausage rolls for same day delivery straight to their office door.

Amy Carroll, communications manager at the business park, told the Newcastle Chronicle: "I am sure Greggs Delivered will provide a popular choice for our businesses catering for meetings and for people who just fancy a team lunch.

"This service adds to a host of fantastic lunch options staff at the park have to choose from – they will be spoilt for choice."

While we’re well aware that a Greggs pastry isn't the healthiest option, the idea of devouring a steak bake without having to leave the comfort of our desk is appealing, especially as the cold weather sets in.

The next phase of trials are due to take place in London and Manchester city centre soon.
