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.

1 David Elleray, the referee, has already shown Roy Keane the red card twice in the last year

2 And he's already booked nine players in one game this season (QPR v Tottenham)

3 And he showed more cards than any other Premiership referee last season

4 It would give Sky's "touchline reporter" something to talk about

5 Getting sent off is the easiest way to get a seat at St James' Park at the moment

6 It wouldn't seem right if such a high-profile match didn't end in some sort of controversy

7 Roy Keane

8 Faustino Asprilla

9 Eric Cantona

10 David Ginola
