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.A rescue deal for TGI Fridays has seen 51 restaurants acquired by new owners after the previous UK operator collapsed into administration.
However, 35 restaurants were not included in the sale and have been shut immediately, resulting in more than 1,000 redundancies.
New owners Breal Capital and Calveton UK said they were looking forward to modernising the business, which first launched in New York in 1965.
