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 Second Division's bottom team Cambridge United fought back for a shock victory after the leaders Brentford had gone 1-0 up inside five minutes.

An unmarked Ben Burgess headed home as the visitors dominated much of the first half but it was a different story after the break, with late goals from Paul Wanless and Daniel Chillingworth giving the hosts all three points. Brighton and Stoke were both grateful for the Cambridge victory, joining Brentford – who stay top on goal difference – on 45 points.

In the Third Division nearly 14,000 fans turned out as the leaders, Plymouth Argyle, opened new stands built as part of the redevelopment of Home Park. However, the celebrations were muted as Torquay fought back for a 2-2 draw, allowing Luton to close the gap at the top.
