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.

Eating your way around Europe is no picnic. Luckily, we've done the hard work for you. First we go shopping in Calais, where we find a veritable Harrod's Food Hall for the frugal. Over in Italy, we investigate Mussolini's war on pasta: guess who won? Off the Scottish coast we meet the whisky-a-go-go men who live for the holy spirit. In Spain, we discover the world's greatest chef who tells us he owes it all to mama. And finally to Portugal, where robots are stamping on tradition Ã¿ and making excellent port to boot
