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.

KIM BAILEY is "with great sadness" to sell his yard in Lambourn and set up a new stable at Preston Capes in Northamptonshire. "I have really enjoyed being in Lambourn but the last two years, personally, have taken a very large toll and I wish to start afresh in new surroundings," Bailey said.

Bailey, who intends to cut his stable strength from 80 to 65, is, along with Toby Balding, the only current trainer to have sent out winners of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle and Grand National.

Away from racing his life has been traumatic and he faces proceedings on a charge of conspiring with a private detective to burgle the home of his former stable jockey Norman Williamson. A pre-committal review of the case commenced at Bow Street Magistrates Court in London yesterday.
