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.Hummous help
Quel désastre! La Grande-Bretagne is reeling, we read, from the hummous shortage in supermarkets. But being Brits you know what to do: keep calm and carry on, and try one of our beautiful terrines de campagne until the chickpea delicacy returns.
Proud papa
Les felicitations to Rod Stewart, who on Instagram posted footage of son Liam, 22, scoring his first goal for the British ice hockey team. Pas de surprise that Sir Rod is such a proud papa. When it comes to finding the net, the first puck is the sweetest!
Back on the road
Mon dieu, have-a-go-hero Tom Hardy isn’t just a tough guy in the movies. An eyewitness said the Mad Max star “looked furious” as he chased and apprehended a bicycle thief in Richmond, Surrey. We salute Tom on his unscheduled return to Fury Road.
Raising a (pint) glass
According to your rural style bible Country Life, the vogue for flashy weddings must end. With the average price of nuptials now more than £30,000, every happy couple might need to think about making savings. Well, who needs champagne when you have the supreme taste of Kronenbourg 1664?
Somethin’ not so stupid
Sacré bleu, professional Frank Sinatra impersonator Jay Oxenham caught a huge 450lb porbeagle shark off the Cornish coast after a two-hour struggle. Naturellement, Jay did it his way by releasing the beast before it could make its way into a Rick Stein fish stew.
For more than 350 years Kronenbourg 1664 has been crafting the taste suprême. For more information go to k1664.co.uk
