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.

Christmas can be a time fraught with tension and anxiety, particularly for parents who have only recently split and must reconnect for one day because of the child they share.

The experience is one known to many families across the UK, where 42 per cent of marriages end in divorce.

But as Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy demonstrate, spending the day together as a modern family can be an amicable affair if it isn’t taken too seriously.

The actress joked about her own reunion with an ‘Ex-Mas’ post showing her and the Muse frontman together on Instagram, writing: “From our #ModernFamily to your #WhateverKindaFamilyIsYourKindaFamily we send you much love and blessings.”

Hudson and Bellamy confirmed their engagement had ended in 2014 and vowed to remain “close friends and committed co-parents”. They have a four-year-old son together.
