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.

Before that I was like a child, sort of waiting to do the next stupid thing. But what I have learned is not to make the same mistake twice. Eric Cantona on his kung-fu kick and the community service sentence it earned him.

Will I be strengthening my squad? Well, put it this way. Manchester United have just won the League again and they will be strengthening their side Ron Atkinson, Coventry City's manager.

They could have taken the mickey out of us when they were 52-0 ahead - but they didn't. Jon Callard, of Bath, reflects on the union side's meeting with Wigan under rugby league rules.

I still think I have got another two or three left in me. As long as I still have the buzz for the big tournaments, I will carry on playing. Stephen Hendry after sealing a record-equalling sixth world snooker title.

I can't believe it. Nothing surprises me in football but I certainly didn't see this one coming, that's for sure. Barry Fry after being sacked as manager of Birmingham.
