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.

JASON WEAVER was referred to Jockey Club headquarters at Portman Square yesterday after twice falling foul of the new system governing the official declaration of jockeys. The young apprentice was reported by the stewards at both Redcar and Warwick after missing rides he was declared for at the two tracks.

Weaver could not make the weight to ride Tarmon at Warwick and was intending to ride at Redcar instead. However, he had to be replaced by Steve Wood in the seller at Redcar when he failed to arrive in time. The horse, Nellie's Gamble, won at 50-1.

The stewards at Redcar interviewed Weaver and reported him because they were dissatisfied with his explanation.
