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.

Whoever thought of this was in a bit of a pickle. Brainstorming for pickled onions conjures up drunken fun and games followed by an extreme taste-bud experience and the sure route to single life. But curry and pickled onions are such an obvious pairing that it makes you wonder why it hasn't been done before, especially as, according to the relationship psychologist Donna Dawson, having pickled onions in your cupboards means you are a real individual with bags of confidence - all the qualities needed to weather the sting of Korma, Chilli, and Tikka onions. And as Jonathan Rose, head of development at Asda says: "Faced with the same products every week, we would find shopping a pretty boring experience. We want to add a bit of excitement." Just be sure that the route of such excitement doesn't go round the U-bend.
