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.Indian company Tata Motors is to take over the running of motoring marques Land Rover and Jaguar in a deal worth around US$2.3bn dollars (about £1.15bn).
Tata will replace US car giant Ford as the new owner of the companies in a move which will safeguard thousands of UK jobs.
Tony Woodley, joint general secretary of the Unite union, said today: "We would have much preferred Ford to keep the companies in the family, so to speak, especially with Land Rover being so profitable.
"But with the commitments Tata have given to the future of Jaguar (and) Land Rover and the long-term supply agreements for components, especially engines from Bridgend and Dagenham, we're obviously pleased they are in the game."
Mr Woodley said he was unhappy that Ford had decided against taking a stake in the new future.
"That is a big disappointment," he said.
