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.

The Wolves owner Steve Morgan has challenged caretaker manager Terry Connor to stake a claim for the job on a permanent basis after being appointed for the remainder of the season.

Connor will be in charge for the final 13 matches, starting with today's encounter at Newcastle, and given the task of keeping second-from-bottom Wolves in the Premier League.

The Midlands club have come in for criticism after failing to land an established manager as the sacked Mick McCarthy's replacement. But Morgan has faith in Connor, who has been at Molineux for 13 years. He said: "We believe we have made the right decision. At the moment it's an interim appointment but he's got a chance to stake a claim. We've got 13 cup finals left."
