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.

Alan Tait, the former Great Britain rugby league full-back, returns to the international rugby union arena on 17 January when he plays for Scotland A against Wales A.

The 32-year-old Newcastle centre was capped eight times by Scotland in 1987 and 1988 before turning professional with Widnes.

Doug Morgan, the Scotland A manager, said: "He has made the transition from league to union very well. Alan will bring physical strength to the midfield."

There are six senior caps in the side - Tait, Andy Nicol, Peter Wright, Stewart Campbell, Eric Peters and Carl Hogg.
