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.

As the season starts, the pressure mounts – and close attention will be paid to the Dane, who will experience his first Premier League game today when his Swansea side travel to QPR.

Laudrup may have featured for the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid during his playing pomp, but he will be under scrutiny to succeed following the feats of Brendan Rodgers. But Laudrup has spoken defiantly of the task ahead. "I've read a lot of experts saying Swansea is one of the favourites [to be] relegated," he said. "We'll just have to show that these experts are wrong."
