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.

"What are things millennials like?" a budding entrepreneur presumably asked themselves two days before rent was due.

Moments later they came up with two good ones – grilled cheeses and shipping things – and Cheese Posties was born, the 'world's first grilled cheese subscription'.

Here's the deal:

'Cheese Posties delivers all the components of a Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich through your letter box each week. All you have to do is construct it, toast it in the bag we provide and eat it senseless.

'Each week you'll discover a different delicious melting combo made up of artisan breads, cheeses, and condiments all immortalized on a collectable top trumps card.

'Postage is included in the £3.99 weekly subscription price and you'll never have to worry about missing a delivery because our subscription boxes fit right through your letter box.'

Pros:

They have a wide range of esoteric breads, cheeses and fillings to keep things interesting week-on-week.

Cons:

You have to pay £4 for a grilled cheese that requires self-assembly and you to actually grill it as well.

Instead of getting some sucker to invest in the business, Cheese Posties is going down the crowdfunding route, with a Kickstarter campaign launching in 12 days.
