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.

Northampton face a fine from the Football Association for arriving eight minutes late for their game at Wigan on Saturday. Just to compound their misery they had Danny O'Shea and Dean Peer sent off in a 2-1 defeat. Wigan's Kevin Sharp was also dismissed.

Sometimes, however, it is better not to arrive at all. Doncaster's Sammy Chung did for the home match with Carlisle United - only to find that he had been replaced as manager of the Third Division club by Kerry Dixon, the former Chelsea and England striker. It didn't prevent Doncaster losing 1-0, however.
