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.

Willie Boland

Coventry City

OPPORTUNITIES HAVE been rare for the 23-year-old Irishman since Gordon Strachan reshaped Coventry's midfield with an influx of foreign talent. Boland, who joined the Sky Blues as a 17-year-old, started six matches last season and was regularly used as a substitute, but cannot even make the bench this season. Even so, he rejected a pounds 200,000 move to Dundee United last week.

Lee Hodges

West Ham United

AN ATTACKING midfielder with exceptional passing ability, the 20-year-old former England schoolboy international figured in five West Ham matches last season but has made only one further appearance. He has his admirers, however, among them Ipswich manager George Burley, who has taken him on loan and says: "He is a player with a lot of potential."

KEEN TO emphasise how lean and fit he is, age-defying George Graham would take training sessions at Leeds wearing shorts. Now it appears he has gone a step further to prove his fitness, turning out for Wolves and claiming to be Spanish international Fernando Gomez.
