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.Brentford have announced that manager Mark Warburton will leave the club at the end of the season.
The Bees are parting company with the man who led them up from League One last term and into the promotion race for a place in the Premier League.
Assistant manager David Weir and sporting director Frank McParland will also leave at the end of the current campaign.
Owner Matthew Benham has made the decision, which will be met with dismay by Brentford fans, following a disagreement over the long-term direction of the club.
Benham said: "I am a passionate Brentford fan and every decision I take is intended to be in the best long-term interests of the club.
"Some of the decisions taken to date have been easy and some, like this one, have been extremely hard.
"Under Mark's stewardship, Brentford have achieved a high league position and played football which is a joy to watch.
"It is difficult to seek to implement change, particularly when things appear to be going so well, but I am single minded in my resolve that we can leave no stone unturned in our quest for sustainable Premier League Football.
"Innovation, not increased funding, can be the only route to success for clubs such as ours, and I fully accept that innovation is never without risk.
"We are continuing to build a strong base for the future.
"Everything has been perfectly amicable between all parties and we remain friends."
