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.

Colchester have signed midfielder Luke Hannant from Cambridge on a two-year deal.

Hannant was a virtual ever-present in Cambridge’s promotion-winning campaign last season but opted to move to the Sky Bet League Two outfit.

Hannant told his new club’s official website: “Last season was obviously a good one for me and Cambridge, being able to get a promotion under the belts was a great achievement for us all.

“But I was ready for a different challenge. I feel I’m an established League Two player now and the project that the manager said is in place for this season is something I really want to be a part of.”
