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.

Alan Sugar, the Spurs chairman, came under pressure from 750 fans and shareholders at yesterday's Tottenham plc AGM.

He responded by saying he had "a good feeling" about Gerry Francis' successor as manager, the uncompromising Swiss, Christian Gross. "The discipline thing has been overplayed a little bit and we shall not be renaming our training ground Colditz," Sugar said.

Sugar did not get an easy ride, however, and among his critics was one who accused him of running Tottenham as a second-rate football club, comparing the approach unfavourably with their north London rivals, Arsenal.
