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.

These are the sandals that I have been saving up to buy since I first saw them. They are the sort of sandals that will make an outfit, and can be worn on the beach or to a smart do. Armando Pollini also have some great elasticated flip-flops in black, white or taupe. Incidentally, wearing socks with flips flops is not a good idea. AB

Snakeskin flips flops, pounds 95, Armando Pollini, 35 Brook Street, London W1 (inquiries: 0171 629 7606) and Young Ideas, St John's Street, Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
