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.

Martin Adams, the three-time BDO world champion, was dumped out of this year's competition in round one by 18-year-old Dutchman Jimmy Hendriks.

Adams, the winner in 2007, 2010 and 2011, lost 3-2 and was in tears as he left the oche. He said: "My doubles were crap. That was absolute rubbish. In this game, if you don't hit your doubles, then you won't win at all. I can't dress it up any other way."
