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.

GRAHAM TAYLOR, manager of the England football team, seems to prefer being regarded as an undersized Philistine rather than an oversized turnip. For the Wembley game against the Netherlands on 28 April he ignores Chris Waddle and his 62 caps (in the interests of continuity), but calls up Teddy Sheringham for the first time. The Dutch are amazed and amused.

Brinkmanship a-go-go in the Caribbean. Knowing the bereft home board could scarcely scrap the mother of all Test series, the Pakistan cricket team threaten to go home in a huff after four of their number - including captain Wasim Akram - are accused of 'constructive possession' of marijuana in Grenada. Charges are dropped, apologies demanded but never received. The show, happily, goes on.
