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.

Uefa right

Sir: Far be it for me to defend Dennis Wise, whose appalling disciplinary record speaks for itself, but Uefa have surely made the proper decision by dismissing the "biting" charge against him.

It was quite clear from the television that the Real Mallorca defender was "raking" his fingers on Wise's neck and equally obvious that the Chelsea captain bit nothing but fresh air.

The incident was yet another example of a player being tried and found guilty by television and the lower forms of the press.
