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.

There’s something special about Easter eggs, and the way the chocolate just hits different. We don’t know exactly what the secret is behind their addictive nature but we plan on stocking up while we have the chance. While Easter is not until 21 April this year, it’s always helpful to shop in advance, to make sure you’re not disappointed when only the chocolate dregs are left.
We’re really excited that Easter eggs have had a real promotion this year. Supermarkets are nailing it with own brand flavours, while luxury chocolatiers and high street boutiques such as Hotel Chocolat continue to impress with their quality. Plus, if you stock up on household favourites, such as Cadbury, Kinder and Mars, you can never go wrong.
If, like us, you are beating the rush, you can save yourself some cash on fantastic Easter egg deals. We’ve even done the hard work for you and compiled a list of the best offers out there. In our list, we’ve thought about all tastes and price points – classic milk, caramels, nutty chocolate, and even options fit for a family egg hunt. These deals won’t be around for long, though. On your marks…
Kinder surprise giant Easter egg: Was £17, now £12.50, Tesco.com
A hit with both children and adults alike, Kinder knocks it out of the park every year with its Easter eggs.

Using your Tesco Clubcard, you can currently get 25 per cent off.
Cadbury pack of 48 creme eggs: Was £36, now £29.99, Amazon.co.uk
