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.

England and Glasgow Rangers footballer Paul Gascoigne may go to America to play out his career when he eventually quits the game in Britain, he said yesterday.

After that, he is considering taking a complete break for "a couple of years", before coaching youngsters. "They will play with a smile on their face and will pass and move, and if they don't enjoy it I will tell them not to bother because what is the point if you are not enjoying it at any level," said Gascoigne (right). If he was still enjoying football he would love to stay in Britain, he said in an interview with Scotland on Sunday. But he went on: "If I feel a bit down living in England ... I might go over to America for a couple of years, enjoy my football over there ...

"Of all the things I regret ... the biggest [is that] I took all my problems out on [his wife] Sheryl. I have to live with that." Now, he said, he was back in control and his home life was not a problem.
