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.

Marks & Spencer is recalling a range of back and neck heating pillows after two customers complained they had caused burns.

The two customers said they received minor injuries after pads used to heat the neck pillows overheated.

A further three customers have complained that the pads began smoking when they used them. M&S said it was urging customers to return all the items to their nearest store for a full refund.

Although no complaints have been received about the back pillow, which went on sale in August, they are also being recalled as a precautionary measure.

Some 4,200 neck pillows have been sold since they went on sale in M&S stores a year ago.
