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.

The last time I used white port was when I was marinating foie gras for a terrine a few years ago, but now that I've been re-introduced to the stuff it's definitely going to be my drink of the summer.

You don't need a formal recipe here; simply put a large measure of white port into a slim Jim or highball glass with ice and top it up with tonic water (Fever-tree is my favourite brand) and a slice of lemon.
