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.

Coome Hill was in demand with punters for the Cheltenham Gold Cup yesterday following his victory in the Jim Ford Chase at Wincanton on Thursday. Walter Dennis's gelding, who beat Unguided Missile by a length and a quarter, is now 6-1 joint-third favourite for the Cheltenham race with Ladbrokes, from 7-1. The same firm have lengthened the prices of Danoli, out to 6-1 from 11-2, and Dublin Flyer (9-1 from 8-1).

"Given his style of racing, connections will surely make certain that the race is a true test of stamina," Ian Wassell, Ladbrokes spokesman, said. "That will further stretch unproven stayers such as One Man, Addington Boy and even Danoli."
