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.

Warrington have withdrawn their offer to Kelvin Skerrett after deciding to wait no longer for an answer from the Wigan, Wales and Great Britain prop.

Wigan have made Skerrett available in order to cut their wage bill, but he would prefer a club nearer his Yorkshire home.

Wigan have asked the Western Reds to explain why they played Barrie-Jon Mather in an Optus Cup match without agreeing a transfer with them. Mather failed in court to have himself declared a free agent, but is in the process of an appeal.

The former Wigan and Great Britain forward Billy McGinty has been told not to play again for his present club, Workington Town, before the end of May. A brain scan has shown no bruising but McGinty has suffered from headaches since playing in the Fiji Nines in February.

Leeds' new signing, Nathan Picchi, is to train with his new team-mates for the first time today and could come into contention for Sunday's game against Sheffield Eagles.
