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.The new "instant" sun-tan pill being developed by scientists sounds appealing: no more visits to the solarium; no more embarrassingly patchy results from fake tan creams. But what if this pill works too well? The boss might conclude from your healthy bronze glow that you're getting too much time off, and up your workload. And isn't the point of a tan to let everyone know that you've just been on holiday? Having one all year round takes away the fun. What's more, who wants to live in a world where everyone resembles Des O'Connor, Judith Chalmers, David Dickinson and Robert Kilroy-Silk? We say: keep tanning natural.
