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.

EeE by gum, it's about time we had some menswear for all you chappies who write in with fragrant begging letters. Here we go then with a male supermodel wearing the pick of the spring threads. Flat-front trousers are still the shape to wear, and delicate colours like pale green and orange with beige. Everyone who came into contact with it went bonkers over the mint Katharine Hamnett cotton sweater, which is ridiculously expensive, I admit. But it has that lovely feel to it which begs a lover's head to rest on your chest.
