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.Stan Ternent, the Burnley manager, has signed Lenny Johnrose from his former club, Bury for pounds 225,000. The 29-year-old central midfielder, who played an integral part in Ternent's success at Bury, follows Gordon Armstrong and Peter Swan from Gigg Lane to Turf Moor. Johnrose, who started his career with Blackburn, said: "I don't see it as a step backwards, moving into the Second Division. The size of the club and the ambition of the people has brought me here. I respect Stan and I'm delighted to be coming to Burnley."
Alex Burke, the Kilmarnock winger, yesterday became the latest player to commit himself to the Ayrshire club by signing a two and a half year contract at Rugby Park. The Scotland Under-21 international has been on the fringes of Killie's Premier League title challenge this season but Bobby Williamson, the manager, has confidence in his potential.
