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.

Nanton cuts a peaceful figure as he walks around the pre-parade ring at York racecourse yesterday afternoon.

The horse, trained by Jim Goldie at his yard just outside Glasgow, had been expected to do well in the Emirates Airline Cup after a fine string of results earlier in the season but faded towards the end of the race, eventually finishing fifth behind 13/8 favourite Manifest.
