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.

Time: 13.24

Place: Knightsbridge, London

Victim: Kym, 26, Qantas flight attendant

Crime: Chocolate chip and nut biscuits

Every week we will be pouncing on lunch time shoppers to see what they've been buying. They may have been stocking up on those dull essentials - or perhaps they've been treating themselves or their loved ones. Yesterday, Holly Davies found Kym coming out of London's Harvey Nichols, where the only thing she bought was a packet of biscuits (price pounds 2.95). "Whenever I'm in London, I stop by Harvey Nics to top up my mum's biscuit barrel: she saves the tins to brighten up her kitchen. It was a choice between shortbread or chocolate chip - I always say, if in doubt, go for chocolate."
