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.

With each transfer window, the rumour mill seems to spin that little bit faster than the previous time.

Maybe it was due to the World Cup and the opportunity it presented for previous unknowns to showcase their talent but this summer the sport pages were going berserk linking players with this club and that.

The window is now closed and as the ink dries on those last minute signings we take stock of the deals that failed to materialise. These are the players who seemed certain to move on, but for one reason or another didn't.
