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.

Peter Ebdon eased into the quarter-finals of the Regal Masters yesterday, by beating a qualifier, Alan Burnett, in Motherwell.

Ebdon, the world No 10, faced a potentially awkward opponent in the 17- year-old Scottish amateur, but Ebdon's experience told as he brushed Burnett aside 5-0 in 90 minutes.

"Alan acquitted himself really well and he looks a good player in the making," said the 25-year-old Londoner. "His only problem was inexperience and he can only change that by playing in events like this. He has done well to get this far and he certainly wasn't disgraced."
