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.

Chateau D'Angles La Clape Classique Rouge 2008

Robust, herby red, from typical southern French varieties of syrah, grenache and mourvedre. Good with all roasts.

£9.99 Wine Rack (down from £11.99)

Villa Monticelli Polvento 2006

With duck or goose, try this rich, mellow, barrel-aged and earthy Italian using a sangiovese based blend from one of Umbria's most respected producers.

£12.50 Wine Society

Cono Sur Reserve Pinot Noir 2010

Good Burgundy is expensive, but lovers of medium-bodied, elegant reds to match roast turkey or chicken have an excellent alternative with this Chilean pinot.

£7.49 Waitrose (offer ends 6 Dec)
