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.

Steve Kean, the Blackburn manager, has admitted the club will now have to consider any bids for winger Junior Hoilett, who is out of contract in the summer.

The 21-year-old Canadian has stalled on several offers from Rovers and has attracted interest from Tottenham, as was first reported in The Independent.

Kean admits that the player holds all the cards. He said: "Any player does when it gets down to six months. What we have to do is to continue to be open and honest with Junior and say 'we want you to stay'. He has probably taken the opportunity to look elsewhere. If there is a bid that comes in then we would have to consider that, but no bids have."
