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.

Rugby Union

A conversion two minutes from time by Stewart Peel gave Royal Grammar School Guildford the junior title at the National Schools Sevens tournament at Rosslyn Park yesterday, writes Paul Morgan.

In the 12th and final year for their master in charge, Mark Bishop, Dan Ford scored Guildford's first try and a touchdown by Sinan Ozbek set up Peel for the winner in a 12-10 victory over RGS High Wycombe.

Earlier the boys from Bedford Modern and Judd School were involved in a piece of history when three women officiated in a rugby match for the first time. Policewoman Sarah Mallalieu was in charge, while her touch judges were Clare Saville and Siobhan Matthews.
