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.

For that post-holiday candle-lit bath, Wax Lyrical have just the thing.

Pearly white and knobbly starfish shaped candles to remind you of those distant sandy shores.

'They look beautiful when lit,' says one aspiring mermaid.

'They send light shimmering off my bathroom walls, and you can bask in a seaworld-ish watery light.'

Oops, here comes the Japanese whaling fleet. . .

An unusual gift, or simply something to splash out on, the starfish candles cost pounds 3.50 small and pounds 4.95 large.

Wax Lyrical, 125 King's Rd,

London SW3 (071-376 7084) Mon-Sat 9.30am-6pm/Sun 12noon-5.30pm.
