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.

Sixty per cent of Britons have eaten their main evening meal while sitting at their computer, a survey has found.

More than a fifth regularly ate dinner at their computer, according to the online viewing service SeeSaw.com.

Of the 2,000 people surveyed, 15 per cent said they watched TV on their PC while eating a meal, with a third saying they were more likely to eat dinner in front of a computer than they were 12 months earlier.

Nearly a quarter (23 per cent) said their PC had replaced the TV as the main source of evening entertainment.

SeeSaw spokesman John Keeling said: "For many across the nation, the PC dinner has replaced the TV dinner."
