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.

Babies and hydrochloric acid are the items usually associated with the humble test-tube. From the rate at which they are disappearing from the shelves of Homeage in St Christopher's Place and Covent Garden, it appears that the test-tube is enjoying a new life as the latest condiment to be added to the minimalist surfaces of the contemporary kitchen. Homeage sells a rack of test-tubes (ideal for storing your herbs and spices) by Wireworks for pounds 34.50.

Homeage is at Thomas Neals, Earlham St WC2 and 32 St Christopher's Place W1. (071-379 5064) Mon-Sat 10.30am-7pm/Sun, noon-6pm
