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.

The third seed James Wade was at his best yesterday as he powered into the quarter-finals of the PDC World Championship with a 4-0 win over Steve Farmer.

Wade, looking for a first world title, took the first set 3-0 while Farmer claimed only a single leg in the second and had a dart for the set in both the third and fourth, but it was a dominant display from Wade.

"It wasn't as easy as the scoreline suggests," Wade said, "but I've only lost one set in three matches so far, so I must be doing something right." Wade next faces Canada's John Part, the 2003 and 2008 champion, who beat Kevin Painter 4-2.
