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 Senior British Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes saw its second disqualification in as many days, after Tony Jacklin's expulsion on Wednesday for handing in an incorrect card in the first round.

Yesterday it was James Allred, of the United States, who was apparently unhappy at the idea of finishing a second round which was going to be even worse than his opening score of 82. He decided not to putt out on the 18th green.

Bob Charles, the title holder, took over the lead after the second round. The left-hander went round in 69 for a five-under-par total of 139. Two strokes behind him are Doug Dalziel, who returned a 66, the lowest round so far, and Tom Wargo.
