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.

Britain was more than holding its own in a hastily organised head to head with France for the Challenge Taittinger at the Channel Handicap regatta in Cowes yesterday. Robbie Cameron-Davies beat the French selection in class one, though he lost to non-team member David Walters, while in the secondary team event, using only class two boats, Huw Alan-Davies and Paul King came first and second, Jean-Louis Fabry third. Britain also had the top spot in class three through Tony Cox and were ahead of the French in class three, courtesy of a win by Don Forster.
