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.Carphone Warehouse co-founder David Ross yesterday wrote to shareholders in ailing marine safety firm Cosalt to insist his 0.1p-a-share offer was not a "bargain basement of a price".
His offer values the firm at just £400,000.
Ross, whose family has been involved in Cosalt for three generations, has committed to invest an extra £5 million to take the company private.
"The whole company's future is at stake and its options are extremely limited," Ross said.
He warned that without his investment Cosalt will be unlikely to survive as a going concern. Shareholders must decide by20 December whether toaccept his offer.
