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.

Steve Clarke believes that West Bromwich Albion can compete for a European place, but refuses to get carried away with the club's best ever start to a Premier League campaign.

Saturday's 2-1 victory over Chelsea moved them up to fourth, but Clarke is content to let any dreams of Europe nestle with supporters and not in the dressing room.

He said: "At the moment, we are in the right position to think about Europe – but we go from game to game.

"That is boring I know, but I think this weekend we'll let the supporters dream a little bit. The team are certainly in a very good moment, but within the camp we'll keep our feet on the ground.

"I think people have been taking notice of us for quite a few weeks now.

"We are aware of that, they can take notice if they want, but we work from game to game."
