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.

A man has brought Christmas cheer to the London Underground map by editing station names to highlight the festive season.

From "North Pole Gate" to "Treegent's Park" to "Silent Nightsbridge" - each station takes in a different aspect of Christmas celebrations.

Only one station needed no amendment to be festive, Angel in Islington.

Lewisham resident, Paul (@bitoclass) spent two nights brainstorming the map with wife Edith (@wiilassie) who came up with '"Ho Ho Hoxton".

The London Transport Museum declined Paul's suggestion they mass produce this version of the map for Christmas.

Throughout Christmas Day, no underground,overground, DLR, bus services will be running in London.
