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.

It will be a relief to all that the Great European Chocolate War is finally over. The Italians and the Spaniards can get on happily with the business of not selling British chocolate, just as the French are busy not importing British beef. We, on the other hand, can now get back to the even more important business of eating the stuff without being constantly reminded to look at the list of ingredients.

It is bad enough knowing that chocolate will give you spots or put your metabolism in a spin without having to go into all the detail about cocoa butter, cocoa solids and vegetable fat. Who needs to know the precise percentages of what? This is where ignorance really is bliss.

Eat a bar – or an early egg – to celebrate a fine British victory in Europe. After this, can the euro be far behind?
