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.

Gareth Hock will today be named in the new England squad. The Wigan forward returned to the game last June, after a two-year ban for testing positive for cocaine.

He was then suspended for five matches for gouging and punching. Also in Steve McNamara's squad will be James Roby, despite the knee injury he suffered in St Helens' defeat at Huddersfield on Sunday, which could keep him out for months.
