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.

Sol Campbell sparked a backlash on Thursday night after he mocked Ed Miliband for his performance on a special episode of Question Time in the run up to the General Election.

But the former Arsenal and England centre-back was not the only man to have his say on the programme last night, with former Liverpool pair Jamie Carragher and Didi Hamman also having their say.

There might be some tension in the Queens Park Rangers dressing room this weekend also, as midfielders Joey Barton and Karly Henry produced vastly different views on the election.

Earlier this week, Raheem Sterling threw his support behind a Labour candidate in Brent, where he grew up.

Footballers finally seem to be finding their voice on politics.
