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.

While some wear their hearts on their sleeves, a new concept is wearing it on your finger. Jewellery designer Georgie Mortimer has embalmed those treasured childhood sherbert Love Hearts in plastic heart-shaped glittery rings: the height (or depths) of kitsch. While most flash coy romantic messages like 'Angel Face', 'Pussy Foot' and 'In Love' at your beloved, others aren't so sweet. 'Fuck Face', for instance, reflects an entirely different mood. Either way, the rings are dashing out of Janet Fitch's groovy Soho store to adorn the grubby paws of the capital's clubbers and liggers.

Loveheart rings cost pounds 13.

Janet Fitch, 25a Old Compton Street, W1. (071-287 3789) Mon-Sat 11am-7pm; Sun 1pm-6pm.
