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.

ALAIN MENU recorded his first win of the season and the Renault Laguna's maiden victory at Oulton Park yesterday in the seventh round of the Auto Trader RAC British Touring Car Championship.

The Swiss driver had the race in his pocket as early as the third lap when he passed the Ford Mondeo of Paul Radisich, who trailed by 2sec at the finish. In coming second, though, the New Zealander retained his overall lead in the championship.

He enjoys a 36-point advantage over Gabriele Tarquini, whose Alfa Romeo team withdrew him from this event in protest at their exclusion from the results of two previous races. Patrick Watts was third and the top British finisher in a Peugeot 405.
