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.

The Chelsea Kitchen evokes all sorts of reactions. Parsimonious gourmands love it and people who hated school dinners come over all queasy at its tinned vegetables. Fixed tables that you have to share with some senile Chelsea bag lady (it'll be a Harrod's bag, of course), waitresses who carry the tragedy of middle Europe on their shoulders, plus the fact that you can eat so much you have trouble walking and still have change of a tenner add up to deep and lasting joy. Their minestrone soup is one of those secret, and chillingly effective, hangover cures that health freaks try to claim don't exist.

The Chelsea Kitchen, 98 King's Rd SW3 (071-589 1330)
