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.

Effervescence landed a hat-trick of wins at Lingfield within a week when getting up in the last stride yesterday.

Richard Hannon's colt got on the winning trail on Boxing Day at the Surrey course. He followed up on Monday and came back for one more win yesterday, when his apprentice rider, David Griffiths, urged the 4-5 favourite home by a whisker from Eager To Please, with Forgotten Times well back in third.

Darryll Holland, who rode the runner-up, was banned for two days (11 and 13 January) for using his whip with undue frequency.

Simon Dow started his new year off on the right note through a 30-1 double with Misty Cay (5-2 favourite) and Tawafek (8-1).
