Redknapp still aiming for top spot
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.

"There is only two games gone and that is still the aim. It's a very open division and anyone can be up there. But we've not got the quality at the moment. I lost three fantastic strikers last year and two very good left-sided players.
"The difficulty is in finding players to replace them because no one wants to give good players away cheaply, but we've still got a bit of time before the transfer deadline." Luton are now second in the league following Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace - another side relegated from the Premiership last season. Luton's manager, Mike Newell, said: "People will no doubt be getting carried away in the euphoria of it all, but it's only two games in and there is miles and miles left to go. We're on a bit of a roll, but that doesn't come easy - it comes by good players working hard for one another. If you get into the habit of not losing games it is a good habit to have. But football has a habit of jumping up and slapping you in the face so none of us will be getting too excited."
Dean Morgan hit a 90-minute winner for Luton after the hosts had twice levelled following strikes from Matt Oakley and Kenwyne Jones for the Saints.
