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.

This week on The Indy Football Podcast, the team discuss the remarkable news that Liverpool have reversed their decision to place some non-playing staff on temporary leave during the coronavirus pandemic.

Host Luke Brown is joined by Senior Football Correspondent Melissa Reddy and Northern Football Correspondent Mark Critchley to ask whether Liverpool should be praised for their U-turn or pilloried.

The team also take a look at the Premier League clubs who still intend to place some staff on furlough: Bournemouth, Norwich City, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Is it ever morally right for football clubs to furlough staff? And, as one of the richest clubs in the world, shouldn’t Spurs be doing better?

Plus Mark brings us up to speed on the latest developments in English football outside of the Premier League, before we then tackle some of the recent questions you have sent us.
