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 latest accessory that no pierced party-goer should be without is, believe it or not, the Vivienne Westwood cheek pin. Retailing at a cool pounds 120, the cheek pin can be seen on the face of a VW freak at a nightclub near you now. When asked why he was spending such a vast amount of money on something so pretentious, one Westwood addict claimed, 'Vivienne is just so addictive. It's like heroin or cocaine. You want to keep shooting it up. Frankly, cocaine would be cheaper. . .

Vivienne Westwood, 430 King's Road, SW18 (071-352 6551). Mon-Sat 10am-6pm, Wed 10am-7.00pm.
