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.

The Essentials: Soaking in a long, hot bath has to be the best way to relax after battling home from work on a cold, dark winter's night. So, here we've chosen some must haves to turn your bathtime into pure self-indulgent pleasure.

The Ultimate Bathrack (top left), from Presents Direct, lives up to its name, with space for candles and your favourite tipple. It costs pounds l95 and is available by mail order: 0171-3717017.

Get exotic and store aromatherapy oils and bubble bath in these colourful bottles (far left) priced at just pounds l.80 each, from Ikea.

There's no reason why kids should have a monopoly on having fun in the tub. This "Cool" duck (left) by Live & Exclusive (0171-4341011), will cheer up any bath, while glycerine soaps, which cost pounds 4.50 for a pack of four from Habitat, will add a splash of colour.

After a long soak, it's a treat to wrap yourself in one of these huge bath towels (top), priced at pounds 5.50, also from Ikea.
