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 problem with celebrating Ramadan in a pagan country such as Britain is finding anyone to serve you a meal as soon as it gets dark. Not too many restaurants serve breakfast at 4pm. Not fun when you've been fasting all day. An Egyptian company, Jenbo Corp, plans to change all that, tomorrow opening what it claims is the first authentic (when was an ethnic restaurant anything else?) Egyptian restaurant in London.

From 11 February, the first day of Ramadan, diners at the Valley of the Kings restaurant on the Cromwell Road in Kensington will be able to feast on dates soaked in milk, pureed apricots and chicken soup the moment the sun sinks beneath the horizon.
