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.

It would mark an incredible comeback (or meltdown, depending on how you look at it) considering the West Londoners trailed United by 15 points at the end of February.

Football league history isn't short of tales of teams throwing it away. With the 2010/2011 league title in the balance, we have cited evidence of collapses, meltdowns and title-surrendering chokes from domestic and European football.
