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.Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water - the string bikini returns.
More a small collection of postage stamps held together with hope rather than a proper bathing cossie, the string bikini is a notoriously dodgy invention.
Not only does it tend to inch painfully between the buttocks and fill with sand, but the top half has a habit of twirling round to expose your nipples. The designer responsible for the comeback is Georgio Armani. His tie-dye and brightly coloured micro-string bikinis are this summer's must-have for the beach.
But the string bikini is for not for the likes of you and me. Babes, Baywatch bodies, Bond girls, waifs and wannabees are the (un)natural models for this little number.
