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.DENIS BETTS has told a relieved Wigan board that he does not plan to join the drain of talent to the Auckland Warriors, writes Dave Hadfield.
The Great Britain second row, who has been widely tipped to join his team-mates, Dean Bell and Andy Platt, at the club managed by the former Wigan coach, John Monie, told the directors that he wants to extend his contract beyond the 18 months it has to run.
Salford, who play Wigan in the Regal Trophy semi-final on Saturday, have transfer- listed their former Wigan prop, Ged Stazicker, at pounds 55,000 at his own request. Left out of the first team in recent weeks, Stazicker could yet be required against his old club because Salford have injury doubts over three forwards: David Young, Mark Lee and Paul Forber.
