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.Hull City yesterday sacked their manager, Nick Barmby, after he questioned a lack of funding.
Hull's owners, Assem and Ehab Allam, issued a statement that read: "The reason for the dismissal relates to comments made in recent interviews. The comments were wholly misleading and implied that the board had not made funds available in the January transfer window. The board consider the comments unjustifiably cast public doubt on the honesty and integrity of the board and its members."
Barmby, in a statement via the League Managers' Association, said he would appeal. "I maintain that my sacking was entirely without justification," he said.
