Tea-time
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.Are there no limits to the power of the cuppa? It's been mooted before that tea can help to protect us from the ravages of heart disease and cancers. Now we learn that tea can also help stave off Alzheimer's disease. We'll drink to that. But tea has always been more than just a healthy drink. It's a civilising beverage. Think tea-time at Lord's. Think afternoon tea. We should be proud of our "pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions", as they were recently characterised by some belligerent Americans. Consider how differently things would have been if Arsene Wenger had sat down with Alex Ferguson to enjoy a nice cup of tea at the end of Sunday's match.
