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.

DAVID BROOME, who preferred to ride in Dublin rather than travel as reserve to last week's European Championships, earned Britain's first win of the show when he took the Kerrygold Classic last night.

Broome, omitted from the British team who won silver in Spain last Friday, won a six- horse jump-off on Lannegan, leaving Michael Whitaker, winner of the European individual bronze medal, in fourth place.

Broome collected pounds 5,000 for his clear round in 41.84sec to beat France's Roger Yves-Bost, riding Samsung Tresor du Renom, into second place. Whitaker was faster than Broome over the jump-off course but Everest Monsanta, his 17- year-old partner, hit a fence.
