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.

Holiday horreurs

Quel horreur for holidaymakers with this chaos at le Heathrow check-in and the four-hour passport delays at EU airports. We would recommend un staycation with a sixpack or trois - but a glance at the skies above suggests frying pan and fire.

Baking battle

Zut alors! A TV culinary battle has begun after Mary Berry signed up for Best British Cook, a new BBC show which sounds un petit peu like le Great British Bake Off. How it ends, who can say? But doights crossed no one gets egged.

Big benefits

Bonne chance to all in the Celebrity Big Brother maison, but especially to Sean Williamson (Barry from EastEnders). Sean confesses he is taking part only to save his career. Extraordinaire! We imagined it was for the benefit of his artistic soul.

Net gains

My, my, mes amies, how we envy the comings and goings in the Premier League transfer market. On this side of La Manche, alas, things are more mundane... well, except for le world record £200m signing of Neymar by Paris St Germain. Oui, le price is high, but here en France we know quality when we see it. And when we taste it too. Santé!

For more than 350 years Kronenbourg 1664 has been crafting the taste suprême. For more information go to k1664.co.uk
