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.

Manchester United sought an injunction yesterday to prevent the publication of a "tell-all" book by the club's former head of security Michael "Ned" Kelly. The News of the World newspaper confirmed it would not run serialised extracts from the book, as scheduled tomorrow, because of the legal action.

A High Court injunction hearing is scheduled for next week. Mr Kelly's publicist, Jenny Stanley-Clarke, said the club's action was "unprecedented". She said: "It is believed that the book will reveal that it is not only the players' conduct which could, at times, be called into question."

Mr Kelly, a former SAS soldier, left the club 18 months ago after 12 years' service.
