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.

Godolphin jockey Mickael Barzalona will no longer be automatic first choice for trainer Charlie Appleby.

The demotion follows a fortnight after a similar change at the operation’s other yard, where Saeed bin Suroor brought in Kieren Fallon alongside Silvestre De Sousa as joint No 1.

“There has been no falling out, it’s just that I have free rein to use whatever jockeys I see fit,” Appleby said.
