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.IT MIGHT only be early December but the line-up for the men's Premier League play-offs already look pretty certain after yesterday's games.
League leaders Reading beat bottom-placed Beeston 10-3, Canterbury won the second-versus-third contest 2-0 against Guildford, while Cannock edged into third with a 40th-minute Ben Sharpe goal against Bournville Birmingham University. Guildford, now in fourth place, are nine points ahead of a chasing pack led by newly promoted Surbiton, who drew 2-2 with Southgate.
In spite of a first-minute goal from Jason Lee, Division One leaders Loughborough Students were held to a 3-3 draw by Chelmsford. Division Two leaders Hampstead and Westminster kept their 100 per cent record with a 3-2 win in which Eastcote's Danny Geach was sent off for barging into the umpire. The South African Murray Anderson, who flew in on Saturday for his first game of the season, scored three times as second-placed St Albans beat Firebrands 4-2.
