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.

Michael Bell completed a 47-1 double with Shining Cloud and Girl With The Wind at Nottingham yesterday to take his seasonal tally to 41 winners, only one short of his 1995 total.

"My horses have hit a rich vein of form. Long may it continue," said Bell, whose two winners, both partnered by stable jockey Michael Fenton, scored by an aggregate of 12 lengths.

Shining Cloud was backed from 12-1 to 7-1 and made all the running up the stands rail to win by six lengths.
