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.

CHESTER BARNES, Martin Pipe's assistant, returned to the racecourse yesterday for the first time since suffering a heart attack. He was soon back in the winner's enclosure, welcoming the stable's Bold Stroke after his victory in the novice hurdle at Newton Abbot.

'I've lost a stone in weight and I'm now hoping Martin will put me up on one of his in an amateur hurdle, because the way some of his jockeys have been riding, I'm sure it's not the horses,' Barnes said.

The winner was bought out of John Dunlop's yard for 36,000 guineas at the Newmarket Sales.
