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.

Outlook The latest results from Manchester United were posted yesterday and in fairness they weren't all bad. Traders still seem of the view that the $14-a-stock New York share listing was toppy, to say the least, but there is no question the business is the possessor of a valuable franchise.

Profit of £20m in the three months to September is respectable for sure, but this number was rather flattered by a £26.5m tax credit.

For investors, the choice remains clear. Enjoy the football and avoid the shares.
