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.

The world of football and jokes on the internet are inseparable and transfer deadline day is providing some great material.

The major news of the day - that Radamel Falcao is joining Manchester United - provided the main source of inspiration.

But there was much more to get the comedic juices flowing - the departure of Javier Hernandez, Harry Redknapp and even a rather bizarre signing at Zenit St Petersberg - that of Bart Simpson.

Here, we compile some of the best tweets and memes circulating on deadline day.
