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.

Liz McColgan has vowed never to run for Scotland again following the appointment of her former coach, John Anderson, as team manager for the 1998 Commonwealth Games, writes Mike Rowbottom.

McColgan, 31, was involved in a legal wrangle with Anderson over compensation after they parted company in 1991, the year she won the world 10,000 metres title. The year before, Anderson - best known now as the referee in the Gladiators TV show - had guided her to a second Commonwealth 10,000m title. It means that McColgan has probably run in her last Commonwealth Games.
