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.

A new bet is introduced today by Ladbrokes that will pay a third of the odds each-way and in certain races half the odds each-way.

But before you rush to the cashpoint to stock up for your afternoon's foray, the "Win & Show" bet pays out only on a horse that finishes first or second in any race with eight or more runners. Successful punters will be paid a third of the win odds, rising to a half in handicaps with 16 or more runners.

The bet has been launched instead of a Jackpot-type wager to compete with the Lottery.
