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.

Less than a week after taking Farnborough Town to Highbury for an FA Cup tie, Graham Westley has left the club to take over as manager of their Nationwide Conference rivals Stevenage Borough.

Westley resigned as manager and chairman of Farnborough yesterday to move to Stevenage. A former Queen's Park Rangers player who is now a successful businessman, he had been in charge of the Cherrywood Road side since 1999.

Although Stevenage are one place off the bottom of the Conference, while mid-table Farnborough made a considerable profit from their FA Cup run which ended with Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Arsenal, Westley is joining a club with greater long-term potential. Unlike Farnborough's ground, Stevenage's Broadhall Way stadium is of Football League standard.
