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.GLOUCESTERSHIRE PLAN to make an official approach to sign Derbyshire's Kim Barnett. Derbyshire have agreed to release Barnett from the last two years of his contract after another behind-the-scenes row.
Colin Sexstone, the Gloucestershire chief executive, aims to contact John Smedley, the Derbyshire secretary, for permission to make Barnett an offer.
One problem for Gloucestershire is that Barnett is classified as a List One signing. Each county is allowed one signing per year and Gloucestershire's other winter recruit, Jeremy Snape, is also on List One.
But Sexstone said: "We are quite confident that the registration committee will move Jeremy to List Two when they next meet on 19 January."
