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.

The Premier League leaders, Cannock, have an early opportunity to make up for last week's failure to beat Guildford before the National League heads for winter hibernation when they play the same side this weekend in one of four games postponed from 24 November.

Cannock, who only drew at Guildford last week and would have lost if either Martin Sampson or David Mathews had been more confident in late breakaways, will welcome the return from suspension of their captain, Kalbir Takher, who should strengthen a midfield which lacked conviction last Sunday.

Teddington, still without Great Britain's Olympic captain, Jason Laslett, upset second placed Southgate last weekend. Southgate will be pleased that Army Major Peter Boxell is back from the Falklands and able to line up at sweeper in place of their player-coach, James Duthie, who dislocated a shoulder in that game.
