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.When David Beckham announced that he's to leave the reigning MLS champions LA Galaxy for new climes, speculation was soon rife about the next stop in the Beckham roadshow. We thought we'd help Beckham with his decision with a compass point-friendly guide to potential new clubs. David, you're welcome:
* The North End: Becks began his career with a loan stint at Preston (he scored from a corner). What better way to round off a glorious career?
* The East End: Surely east London's most famous former resident could lift Waltham Forest from their current lowly 13th spot in the Ryman Div 1 North?
* The South End: Or, er... Southend United. The Shrimpers may be in League 2 but they've got a beach. Have that, LA.
* The West End: his other half's legacy is about to be shredded in Viva Forever! – the Spice Girls' musical opening at the Piccadilly Theatre next week. A cameo role would be the perfect opportunity for the former England captain to shred his.
