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.

The GM Vauxhall Conference champions, Stevenage Borough, last night issued a High Court writ against the Football League and its bottom club, Torquay United. Stevenage were prohibited from replacing Torquay in the Third Division because they failed to meet the stadium criteria stipulated by the Football League before its 31 December deadline. After the League called off a meeting with the club scheduled for yesterday, Stevenage initiated legal action. Their solicitor, Chris Williams, said: "We believe that the League's criteria for admission is unfair and discriminatory."

Jimmy Rimmer, the former Manchester United and Aston Villa goalkeeper, has been sacked as Swansea City's youth team manager.
