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.

Harlequins unleashed two months of frustration on a bewildered Saracens side last night to secure their first win of the season in stunning fashion.

Harlequins unleashed two months of frustration on a bewildered Saracens side last night to secure their first win of the season in stunning fashion.

After nine defeats and a draw with Castres, Harlequins' season exploded into life as they won 40-10 at The Stoop.

Quins raced into a remarkable 33-0 lead by half time, securing the bonus point for four tries after only 14 minutes. They opened their account after 13 seconds through Mel Deane and worked six tries in all, with blindside flanker Nick Easter scoring his first two for the club.

Full-back Tom Williams, prop Mike Worsley and lock Roy Winters all got in on the act as Quins lifted themselves above Worcester and off the foot of the table.
