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.

It’s the stuff of nightmares. After waiting all summer long for the return of club football, it finally returns only to disappear again after three matches, to be replaced by an international break.

The last week has seen the England national team dominate the back-page headlines: but not necessarily for the right reasons.

Gareth Southgate’s side may have beaten the mighty Malta 4-0, but the largely turgid performance saw the players booed off at half-time and heavily criticised over the weekend.

So, why are people falling out of love with the England football team? Is it the poor performances? An underwhelming manager? Or simply the fact they’re playing Slovakia again, for what seems like the 576th time this century?

Well click the link below and listen to the Indy Football Team try and work it all out.

On Monday, Independent Sports Editor Ed Malyon was joined by Chief Football Correspondent Miguel Delaney, London Football Correspondent Jack Pitt-Brooke and Sports News Editor Ben Burrows to discuss all the latest from the international break. What a team – spicy.
