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.

Eurostar has announced a flash sale to help holidaymakers get over the end-of-summer blues.

The rail company will sell seats for £29 one way from London to Paris, Lille, Brussels and Calais for travel between 28 September and 9 December.

Fares to any Belgian destination, including Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp, are £35 in the same time period. Alternatively you could head south to Lyon for £45 or to Avignon or Marseilles for £49 between 3 September and 4 November.

The promotion will run for two weeks, from 29 August to 11 September, and 44,500 tickets are available in total.

If you’re in the mood to splash a little more cash, you can upgrade to Standard Premier for £70 to Paris, Lille, Brussels and Calais, £79 to Belgium, £80 to Lyon and £85 to Avignon and Marseilles. The premium ticket includes a light meal as well as a slightly larger seat.

Passengers travelling on the new e320 train can get online with free wifi. Eurostar also offers a two for one deal on entry into a range of attractions including Musée d’Orsay in Paris, Bozar in Brussels, Mucem in Marseille and Le Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille, which travellers can claim by showing their train tickets.

Mary Walsh, director of communications for Eurostar said: “We’re encouraging our customers to beat the post-summer holiday blues by booking a great value escape. With all Eurostar destinations on sale, we’re offering travellers a wider range of getaway options than ever before, so there’s never been a better time to travel.”
