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.Barrie-Jon Mather's contractual dispute with Wigan has led the 23-year-old Great Britain forward to issue an injunction against the club. Mather insists that, as a free agent, he has no obligation to Wigan and has agreed a three-year deal with the Australian club Perth Western Reds, but Wigan are demanding compensation and have blocked the move.
The Rugby League's board of directors will decide this weekend whether to re-admit Blackpool to the Second Division, as well as considering an application from Northampton.
