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.Londoners continue to have their childhoods sold back to them at an extortionate price this month, with the opening of After School Club, a pop-up serving primary school canteen-esque cuisine.
The move follows the similarly nostalgia-centric Cereal Killer Café, which has been successfully selling bowls of Reese's Puffs to idiots for roughly the GDP of Liechtenstein in recent months.
After School Club will serve dishes including alphabet spaghetti and fish fingers, according to Dalstonist, taking place in a restaurant designed to look like a school hall.
Actual school dinners cost about a pound (and were so great because 1. your mum paid for them and 2. you were excited to go and slide on the grass soon after) but tickets for this event will set you back £55 plus admin fee.
Guests will receive five courses of 'posh school dinners', with 'theatre, music, homework and milk monitors'.
The pop-up has been designed by the Art of Dining, the collective also behind restaurants styled as campsites and 70s living rooms.
"Pack your books, press your uniform & head over to the Clapton Park Round Chapel. Homework provided with your meal," they wrote on Twitter.
After School Club runs from 22 July to 6 August at The Round Chapel Old School Rooms, Clapton, London E5 0PU. Tickets are available here.
