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.

Leander club cleaned up in the Head of River Fours from Putney to Mortlake by winning the men's coxed and coxless fours and men's and women's quads. Olympic gold medallists James Cracknell and Matthew Pinsent teamed up with Ed Coode and Rick Edgington in the coxed boat to finish 10th overall in the four-and-a-quarter mile time-trial.

The duel among the top end of the women's national squad was settled by Leander's Debbie Flood, Alex Beever, Alison Mowbray and Rebecca Romero, who beat the Marlow-Thames-Leander combination of Elise Laverick, Sarah Winckless, Cath Bishop and Tracy Langlands.
