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.

Singspiel, who fractured a leg on the eve of the Breeders' Cup, has recovered well enough to return to Britain from the USA today. The five-year-old will go straight to the Dalham Hall Stud of his owner, Sheikh Mohammed. He will commence stallion duties in the New Year.

Michael Stoute, Singspiel's trainer, said: "He has progressed very, very well and everyone is extremely happy to let him travel back now."

Pilsudski, Stoute's other globe-trotting star, leaves the trainer's care on 11 January to take up stallion duties in Japan.
