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.OLD hand makes light work: Paul Walsh equalises twice to earn Portsmouth a third-round replay at home to Manchester United as Pompey join Stockport and Kidderminster - conquerors, respectively, of QPR and Birmingham - as the FA Cup's over-achieving underdogs.
Changes on the not-so-merry managerial-go-round: Ian Branfoot hears The Dell death knell and jumps off; John Deehan hops on at Norwich.
Still smarting over last November's tanning by the All Blacks, Scotland's rugby union selectors unscramble their senses sufficiently to ditch nearly half the team for the opening Five Nations bout in Cardiff. Champions France regrette rien, recalling Fabien Galthie at scrum-half to face Ireland, a year after dropping him in a selectorial purge.
Speaking of purges, the Sports Council may be due one after a report reveals that staff salaries and expenses for 1993 exceeded pounds 20m, two-thirds of the sum left over for grants. Not so much sport for all as readies for all.
