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.

Scotland finished without a losing rink for the second successive day as they powered to a 144-94 win over Wales in Perth yesterday and issued notice to the holders, England, that they are determined to win the women's Home International title.

They opened up an early 10-5 lead after the opening end, increased it to 35-15 by the close of the fifth end and by the half-way mark had virtually sealed their victory as they held a 48-shot advantage at 80-32.

Evelyn McGarvie, a Perth club player, returned the top score after a 27-13 victory over Betty Morgan. Jean Sykes beat Gill Miles 29-16, Annette Christie overcame Ann Dainton 25-14, and Roberta Hutchison, beat the former world outdoor champion, Janet Ackland, 24-14.
