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.

Right now I feel like I'm on a rocket that's about to take off. Damon Hill, the newly crowned Formula One world champion.

It is a very sad day for English football. Players get stick all the time from the fans, but it seems you cannot have a go back these days. Mark Bosnich, the Aston Villa goalkeeper, attempts to explain why he gave a "Nazi" salute to Tottenham supporters at White Hart Lane.

I am sure it is a joke that backfired. Alan Sugar, the Spurs chairman.

English football got it right with Alan Shearer. Even though he failed to score an international goal for so long, very few questioned his place in the team. Graeme Hick, who believes he should have not been dropped from the England cricket team - despite inconsistency.
