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 Birmingham-based manufacturer that played a part in finding the "God particle" by supplying parts for the Large Hadron Collider, has won a lucrative car manufacturing contract on the back of its work with CERN. Brandauer is about to push the button on production of connector terminal pins for electrical wiring in Fiat and Volkswagen cars – with plans to produce 50 million a year, rising to 100 million over the next three years. Rowan Crozier, a director at Brandauer, said: "The Large Hadron Collider has given us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate our precision manufacturing." The car manufacturing win is the latest in a line of new business. Brandauer, which is 150 years old, has secured £3.5m of contracts this year.
