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.With West Ham not playing Everton in the FA Cup third round until Tuesday night, Hammers striker Andy Carroll might be able to find the time to do some decorating in his bonkers Essex home over the weekend, which he shares with his pregnant fiancée, Towie star Billi Mucklow.
Mucklow has kept followers on her Instagram account entertained throughout the festive period, posting a series of pictures from their new home, which she has affectionately named Carroll Castle.
The plush Essex pad features Mucklow's own beauty salon, called "Billutifuls", a disco-themed dining room, a zebra-walled living room with bright pink sofa, plus a bedroom with a mirrored ceiling.
But the images have not been received well on Twitter, with users today blasting the pair for their questionable taste.
One commentator on Instagram simply wrote: "Oh hell no!"
