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.

WEMBLEY, the leisure group that owns the famous London football stadium, said yesterday it had received an approach from a second potential bidder. The company is rumoured to be SFX Entertainment, a US venue and entertainment group thought to have been in talks with Wembley's bankers.

Wembley has already received an approach from Enic, the group that owns stakes in several European football clubs. Any deal could jeopardise Wembley's plans to sell the stadium in a pounds 103m redevelopment deal.

Elsewhere in football, Leicester City said a board member had received an informal approach about a possible bid. Millwall Holdings has raised pounds 300,000 via a share placing.
