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.

Brian Horton is sueing Manchester City for around pounds 200,000 following his sacking 48 hours after the end of the season. The former Maine Road manager's legal team began High Court proceedings against the club yesterday for a severance payment they claim is due.

Francis Lee, the club's chairman, said: "I am happy to let both sets of lawyers reach an amicable agreement on Brian's compensation. Whatever figure they come up with will be paid."

A legal spokesman said Horton, appointed manager of Huddersfield Town last week, felt he had no alternative but to pursue the matter in the courts.
