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.

First there were a few dodgy burgers in Tesco's Aldi and Lidl but now horsemeat has also been found in the Findus Beef Lasagne. Quite a lot of it. Twitter has, as usual, stepped up to the challenge...

Ten great horsemeat gags....

@philipwomack: How do you hide the taste of horse meat? Mascarpone

@mrchrisaddison: BREAKING: #Findus fish fingers test positive for 60% seahorse

@GraemeGarden1: What's the fuss? For years we've been told that Ready Meals contain too much Salt and Shergar. #findus

@MrBButterfield: New from Findus! Findus Lasagneigh

@tompeck: So #findus are recalling their 100% horsemeat beef lasagnes. What's that phrase about closing the stable door...?

@DaftLimmy: The problem: we don't eat horses. The solution: we do now. Thanks #Findus!

@Old_Holborn: Now you know why farmers are so keen to round up all the badgers.

@JohnMoynes: I get all my horsemeat from an independent dodgy butcher.

@RealMattLucas: I'm so hungry I could eat a horse Findus Beef Lasagne

@brucel: Those Aldi horse burgers were nice, but I prefer My Lidl Pony

@elhaydo: Good thing about these horse puns is it's stopped all the sick Jimmy Saddle jokes

And one really bad one...

@johnprescott: I really hope they launch a steward's inquiry into the Tescohorsemeat scandal. We must find out hoof to blame.
