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.

Hottest summer beach accessory is designer Susan Telford's wobbly green rubber beach bag. Made from a rather pungent, finely slashed rubber, these bags look like grassy sea monsters dangling from one's arm, but have been a big hit with sun worshippers heading out of town. 'Very peculiar people with orange hair have been coming in and buying them,' says shop manager Joe. 'They're very unique. Not the kind of thing you'll see hanging on the wall in Pinner.'

Susan Telford's beach bags cost pounds 78 and pounds 70.50 for the rucksack.
