Summer mirage
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.At last! The bag is flung in the corner, maths but a memory, project notes in there somewhere, the report released with a timing and spin that Jo Moore could only envy. Yes, the summer holidays are here, finally, in all their late-rising, idly mooching, heat-buzzed glory.
Or not. For these, now, are the days of motivation, ambition, and multiple diary co-ordination, best exemplified by our top working couple in 10 Downing Street. So, you there, up you get, ready for that intensive course which will push you further ahead or bring you up from behind. The most relaxing thing you can hope for is a five-day mixed-media workshop involving circus skills, or some work experience just off Wardour Street.
Only the hopelessly unreconstructed would spare a wistful thought for a bend in the river, a drowsy afternoon, a bit of stick and a bent nail.
