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.Alex Ferguson has just announced his retirment after 27 years as the manager of Manchester United. Here's what Twitter's saying...
@jackwhitehall: It must have come as such a shock to all the people that work for him at the club. Poor Howard Webb. #FergieRetires
@FootyHumour: Man Utd fans be like... pic.twitter.com/gQhbvsRDiB
@ajhumurray: “KlassMyleene: Shooting something top secret and amazing today. *pinches self*” you're the new Man Utd manager?
@Okwonga: Sir Alex Ferguson and Johan Cruyff *must* be pundits together. They would be the Lemmon and Matthau of football
@tom_watson: In honour of Sir Alex Ferguson, I hope Ed gives David Cameron the hairdryer at the Queen's Speech debate today.
@MichaelRosenYes: Am a massive Alex Ferguson fan today. Go gettem, Alex. #gooner
@SeftGB: Everyone who hates Ferguson and is happy at his departure, doesn't appreciate football. #realTalk
@squ1dge: @charlesarthur funniest heard so far "1st Thatcher dies, then Ferguson retires. s/where there's a Scouser with a lamp and one wish left."
