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.

Colin Todd has urged his Bolton Wanderers side to prove their flying start to the season is no flash in the pan.

Bolton go into today's Nationwide League home match against Norwich with four points from their opening two games, including a victory over the First Division championship favourites, Manchester City.

Todd is calling for the consistency needed to steer Bolton back to the Premiership at the first attempt. "Now we must make sure we maintain a high level of performance both as a team and as individuals," he said. "The season is all about producing the goods consistently."

Bolton will miss the injured defenders Gudni Bergsson and Simon Coleman, while the midfielder Scott Sellars is doubtful because of a thigh strain. David Lee is on standby.

Manchester City face a testing trip to Stoke with Paul Dickov, a pounds 1m signing from Arsenal yesterday, poised to make his debut. Alan Ball, the City manager, said: "I have tracked Paul for a long time... He is a very good player and goalscorer."

The Ipswich Town manager, George Burley, is hoping Ian Marshall will pass a fitness test on a groin strain to face Reading at Portman Road. James Scowcroft, who has recovered from a thigh strain, is on standby to replace the former Oldham target man.
