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.LEE JAMES, the asthma-suffering British amateur champion, failed to get past the first round in his bid to add the English title at Moortown yesterday.
The 21-year-old from Broadstone in Dorset, who two weeks ago was playing in the Open and next April will be competing in the US Masters, went down at the second extra hole to James Roberts, the Yorkshire county player, on another hot and humid day. 'I thought I was going to faint at one point and my legs nearly gave way,' James said. 'I've not been too bad all summer, but I really didn't feel good at all here. I ran out of inhaler.'
