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.

What links falsely 'dead' grandmothers,The Simpsons and beach ball-driven injuries? Well it's our Alternative Premier League Team of the Season of course.

There will be no Luis Suarez or Yaya Toure here, this is an XI of some of the forgotten heroes of the campaign.

Who else remembers that Shane Long was briefly the best player in the world (but only for 10 minutes)?

The season reaches it's finale this Sunday, with free-scoring Manchester City in pole position to secure the title ahead of Liverpool, who they lead by two points going into the final round of matches.
