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.

Britain’s most beloved and pastel-hued baking show continued as this year's batch of Great British Bake Off contestants attempted to get Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith’s tastebuds a-tingling.

This week's episode saw not one, but two contestants eliminated as they did battle in the show's first ever Spice Week. Paul Hollywood dished out just as many handshakes to Rahul and Kim-Joy with the judge awarding the latter as this week's Star Baker.

It was time up for Karen and Terry, however, who both struggled in tasks which saw the bakers make ginger cake, maamoul and a chandelier made out of biscuits, something which saw them leave the tent.

Follow all the action as it happened below (please allow a moment for it to load).
