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.THE SWEEPER gets his sarnies from Ready To Eat and loves Red Cafe. No euro sceptic he. We're off into Europe this week so let's dive in for a European portfolio. Manchester United could not have wished for a better time to meet out-of-form, injury-plagued Internazionale while Ukranian giants Dynamo Kiev can oust beleaguered holders Real Madrid. They're the ante-post advice for the European Cup, while the Uefa Cup surely rests between Italian big boys Parma and French league leaders Marseilles. There's only one possible winner of the Cup Winner's Cup and it's not Chelsea. Lazio, the best club on the planet, are tub-thumping certainties. Meanwhile, this week-end, let's put Sheffield Wednesday to bury Boro in trebles with three likely draws, while Fiorentina may be held to a draw on C4 by Salernitana.
