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.

Whether you're hunting for a last-minute gift or just want to add to your Christmas provisions, there are still plenty of high street stores offering cut-price products this Christmas Eve. Laura Ashley is one of several retailers with a 50 per cent off Christmas sale set to extend into next week. There are huge savings in its furniture, homeware and fashion departments, with some of the best deals to be found among women's knitwear. You can see a full selection of discounted items at http://bit.ly/bcTXuK, but online purchases won't arrive in time for Christmas.

Stylish savings at Kurt Geiger

Another major fashion brand offering reductions this weekend is Kurt Geiger, where there are half-price discounts on everything from men's walking boots to women's high heels and jewellery. The sale will run while stocks last and you can find your nearest Kurt Geiger store by heading over to Kurtgeiger.com/storelocator/ and entering your postcode.

Clintons' cut-price stocking fillers

Clintons Cards is offering hundreds of stocking fillers for a fraction of their normal price. Calendars, diaries, cuddly toys and wrapping paper is all included in the sale, with boxed Christmas cards also now half price. Who says you have to use them this year?

Shutl service can be a time saver

For those who can't make it out of the house today, Argos' Shutl service delivers online purchases within 90 minutes of placing an order. Cost depends on the product and delivery address, and the service is only available at selected stores in London, but if you live in the capital and are strapped for time, it could prove invaluable. Visit http://bit.ly/ck3Uqy for more information, or, to start using the service right away, select Shutl when choosing the delivery method at Argos' online checkout.j.hall@independent.co.uk
