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.Just like Match of the Day, here are the highlights of One Direction crooner Louis Tomlinson making his debut for Doncaster Rovers...well, playing 25 minutes for the Doncaster reserve team against Rotherham at a screaming Keepmoat Stadium, packed with 5,000 'Directioners'.
Rovers fan Tomlinson, one fifth of the multi-million selling boyband, agreed a non-contract deal last summer as part of an ongoing association with the club in aid of Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.
The 22-year-old Bessacarr boy missed out on a planned appearance in September after being injured in a charity fixture after colliding with Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Unfortunately, the presence of Tomlinson could not inspire the Rovers reserves - the match finished a rather drab goalless draw.
"Really can't thank the team, the gaffer and every single person involved at Doncaster Rovers enough! I feel like a 10 year old again!" Tomlinson wrote in his post-match tweet.
