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.

KENNETH CLARKE, the Home Secretary, underlined his personal commitment to Sunday racing yesterday and said he was convinced that it would become a reality, with full on-course and off-course betting.

Speaking at the Tote's annual lunch in London, he said he was sure that the necessary amendments to the Betting, Gaming and Lottery Act would be made, provided the Government could find parliamentary time.

Recent reports have suggested that deadlock in negotiations to secure the passage of the Sunday Trading Bill through the House of Commons could jeopardise the Sunday racing campaign.
