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.SHOULD THEY stay or should they go? Liverpool respond to their worst season since 1963 by retaining manager Graeme Souness while Chelsea survive with ease but still bid adieu to David Webb, whose goal won them their only FA Cup. Nottingham Forest show no more sentiment towards one of their old boys, asking Frank Clark to fill Brian Clough's seven-league boots.
Lennox Lewis tries on the WBC heavyweight crown and finds it fits in the ring, too. Not that Tony Tucker, a pug nearing his sell-by date, threatens to turn Las Vegas into Lost Wages for Canada's gift to British boxing.
Aggro of a more civilised kind as Border disputes mar the Australians' demolition of the counties. After apologising for being violent to defenceless stumps at Lord's, the tourists' captain has a public row with Craig McDermott, then refuses an interview by likening the British media to a phallic symbol. What will Mr Grumpy do when he is losing?
Next week's Texaco Trophy may give us a clue. Then again, what with the home selectors balancing the untried - Lathwell, Thorpe, Caddick and Cork - with the unsung - Pringle and Illingworth - while omitting the uninhibited - Gower, Botham - perhaps not.
