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.

Sir: I watched the Manchester United v Internazionale match last Wednesday night and was shocked by the extremely poor "diving" technique exhibited by the Italian team when seeking a penalty or free-kick.

The timing of the falls was just non-existent and no one seemed capable of rolling around on the ground, feigning injury, with any degree of conviction.

I would suggest that Internazionale need to employ a theatrical coach who can bring their players up to the international acting standard required of today's top football teams.
