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.Stewart Downing may not play for three weeks, after the West Ham winger suffered a leg injury in Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat by Stoke City.
Downing was making only his fourth appearance for the club since his £6m summer transfer from Liverpool but ended up in hospital after the match.
His absence leaves the West Ham manager Sam Allardyce in a quandary, as he is already missing Joe Cole, while Ricardo Vaz Te has expressed his desire to leave.
Allardyce said after the game that the chances of buying more players were “slim” unless he also sells. “We roll with what we’ve got unless something happens going out,” Allardyce said.
