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 Brough's switch from Scotland has failed to win him a place in England's Four Nations plans.

The Wakefield scrum-half captained the Scots in last year's World Cup, but declared this season that he wanted to play for the country of his birth. The England coach, Tony Smith, has ignored his claims though.

He was due to add players from Wakefield and Castleford – both eliminated from the Super League play-offs last weekend – but included only the Cas centre, Michael Shenton.

James Lowes is to stay on as Smith's assistant at Warrington, who have also enlisted Chris Baron from Leicester Tigers as strength and conditioning coach.
