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.

Southampton extended their lead at the top of the Championship to five points after beating second-placed West Ham 1-0 in front of a record St Mary's crowd of 32,150.

Jos Hooiveld rose to head home Daniel Fox's corner on the stroke of half-time, the defender's first league goal since his loan move from Celtic.

Peterborough came out on top in a seven-goal thriller against Cardiff at London Road. The away side had led 3-2 with 11 minutes remaining. The match then seemed destined for a 3-3 draw when Grant McCann slotted home an 87th-minute penalty but Paul Taylor popped up with the winner for Posh in the second minute of time added on.

Leeds missed a chance to move fifth when Coventry's Richard Wood equalised Darren O'Dea's strike with the last kick of the game at Elland Road.
