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.

Balram Chainrai, the former Portsmouth owner, has submitted a new offer in a bid to buy the League One club.

Chainrai withdrew an offer last week, leaving the Pompey Supporters' Trust (PST) as the only option to save the stricken club from liquidation.

The Hong Kong-based businessman has now come back in, but the PST will still present its bid to Trevor Birch, the administrator, today. Birch, who confirmed Chainrai's renewed interest, will then make a decision based on "the best deal for creditors".

Birch explained that the offer from Portpin, Chainrai's company, was now being reviewed.
