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 Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Scott Parker has been voted the England supporters' player of the year, just 12 months after he returned from an exile from the England team of more than four years.
Parker, 31, was brought back into the fold against Denmark in February of last year having not played for his country for five years before then. He has gone on to win seven more caps and establish himself as a key player in the side.
Parker, who finished ahead of Joe Hart (second) and Ashley Young in a vote on the Football Association website, said: "I don't think I ever lost hope that I could make it at international level. I probably crammed in a lot in one year, because it's only been this year that I have got in the side and established myself in the squad. I never lost hope, I realised time was ticking and I'm pleased the year's gone the way it has."
