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.

Under a fiver

2006 Chateaux Selection Bordeaux
Aldi may not be your first stop for wine, but if it can come up with more good value dry whites like this lightly honeyed dry white from Benoît & Valerie Calvet, then you may be heading there more often.
£3.29, Aldi

Under a tenner

Asda Extra Special Marques del Norte Reserva
Thoroughly approachable and moreishly drinkable, showing rioja’s typical light vanilla smokiness. Just the ticket for spring lamb chops or braised lamb shanks.
£7.98, Asda

Splash out

2005 Darting Estate Scheurebe Beerenauslese
Literally “the shy grape”, this hidden gem of a silvanerriesling crossing, is capable of producing astoundingly rich sweet wines, like this fragrantly grapefruity luscious white.
£13.99, M&S
