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.Jamie Harvey, of Scotland, became the first player to reach the quarter-finals of the World Championship at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet yesterday.
The seventh-seeded Harvey, 32, beat Jim Watkins, of the United States, 3-2 in his final group match.
Harvey, who is based in Barrhead, had beaten another American Steve Brown in his first group match. His motivation to succeed in the tournament has been heightened by the fact that he was made unemployed last August.
