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.At the start of today’s podcast, the team wave goodbye to the first real story of the 2017-18 season: the Tottenham Hotspur crisis. It only lasted for three games, but in the absence of other stories, and because Manchester United have not been as bad as expected, it became one of the themes of the season so far. But what, if anything, was actually wrong at Tottenham? Why were Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld mysteriously dropped last week? And is Harry Kane finally back?
Away from Tottenham, the team move on to Manchester United, and the latest episode in the Paul Pogba v Jose Mourinho soap opera. Was Pogba right to criticise United’s tactics against Wolves? Who is in the wrong here? And does it even matter when both men are ultimately just defending themselves.
Elsewhere in the Barclays, Arsenal win without convincing while Liverpool march one step closer to the title. Ahead of their huge games against Chelsea and Manchester City, the team wonder if this could be Liverpool’s year, and what effect their European campaign might have on that.
