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.

For once, a bookmaker is making a "bet that can't lose" offer about which, despite closer inspection, a catch fails to make itself manifest. From Saturday, Ladbrokes are offering first-time visitors to their new internet tax-free betting website, ladbrokes.co.uk, a free bet of up to £50. The offer will run throughout the summer.

In addition, first-time telephone customers paying nine per cent tax who place bets on any Euro 2000 game will be able to take advantage of a "double your stake" offer, whereby Ladbrokes are effectively giving punters a free £5 bet by offering to double the stake on a single £5 wager to £10 at their own expense.

Ladbrokes estimate that their promotion may entail them giving away up to £2m in free bets, in which case they could be facing a pay-out of around £1.4m. Let's hope so.
