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.

Most people thought Chris's [Chris Kamara's] appointment would be a good one but it hasn't worked out. It has been a nightmare time for all concerned and we wish Chris all the best for the future. Keith Humphreys, the Stoke vice-chairman, on the departure of Chris Kamara as manager.

At the moment I still feel competitive. Competition is not walking down the 18th fairway at noon on the final day. Jack Nicklaus contemplating another crack at the Masters.

I know it's a lot of pressure to put on myself but now is the time to stand up and be counted. I am a perfectionist and I hate missing penalties. Forget about me and the World Cup. My only concern is to get Boro in the Premiership. Paul Merson, who missed a penalty against Sheffield United in midweek.

We stopped doing the basics properly but we are still a good side. Adam Hollioake, England's one-day captain.
