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.Cannock maintained their three-point lead at the top of the Premier Division with a 3-2 win at home to Teddington. Second-placed Canterbury kept the pressure on with a 5-2 win at Beeston.
Holding a 2-0 interval lead, thanks to goals from Craig Parnham and Ben Sharpe, Cannock allowed Teddington back into the game with goals from Paul Way and Nick Conway before Sharpe collected his second and winning goal in the 59th minute.
Paul Wicken scored twice in the second half for Canterbury, who took control in the opening 11 minutes of their game at Nottingham with goals from David Hacker, Stuart Humphries and David Mathews.
Southgate, equal on points with Canterbury, won 3-1 at Doncaster, with fourth-placed Reading winning 7-3 at East Grinstead. The latter are still without their England goalkeeper David Luckes who is recovering from an operation.
