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.

Danny Wilson last night resigned as Swindon manager after a run of three points from 11 games left the Wiltshire side in the League One relegation zone.

“I am bitterly disappointed to be leaving,” he said. “But I know football is a results driven game, and unfortunately in the past two months the results have just not been good enough.”

Another manager to lose his job yesterday was Northampton’s Ian Sampson, who was sacked following the League Two side’s 3-2 home defeat to Burton on Tuesday. The 42-year-old has been in charge since October 2009.
