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.

London Broncos finally won a home Super League game yesterday, albeit 170 miles from their Brentford base. Their 40-18 win over Widnes took place on the road at Aberavon and they made themselves at home with six tries in the first 23 minutes to help establish a 34-6 lead at half-time.

The London coach Tony Rea admitted the quick start was planned. "We worked hard to get ourselves on a roll in the first half and we kept it up," he said.

Dennis Moran scored two tries to make it eight in his last three games as London jumped to sixth in the table, one place above champions St Helens.

Warrington missed out on their chance to overtake the struggling Saints with a 32-12 defeat at Wakefield. Tries early in the second half by David March and Adrian Vowles laid the platform for the Wildcats to run away with the game in the final quarter.

On Saturday, Leeds ensured they stayed top with a 39-26 win at Headingley over Castleford, but they had to come back from an early 10-0 deficit.
