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.Ukip defence spokesman Mike Hookem is alleged to have been involved in a fight after which fellow MEP Steven Woolfe collapsed.
The two Ukip politicians are reported to have rowed at a gathering of MEPs held in the parliament building in Strasbourg, aimed at discussing the party’s leadership crisis.
But as the argument became more heated sources said Mr Woolfe took his jacket off and said the pair should go outside the room.
Mr Woolfe is said to have hit his head, and he then later collapsed and had to be rushed to hospital for emergency treatment.
He was recovering this afternoon having said in a statement that a CT scan had “shown that there is no blood clot in the brain.”
It added: “At the moment I am feeling brighter, happier, and smiling as ever. As a precaution, I am being kept in overnight awaiting secondary tests to make sure everything in fine.”
