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.

Caradon moves into east Germany

Caradon, the branded building materials group, is aiming to cash in on the rebuilding of eastern Germany by investing a total DM245m (£109m) cash in an initial 21.8 per cent stake and an option over a further 21.3 per cent in Weru, a maker of doors and windows. Weru's operations in Germany dovetail with Caradon's Everest and Alpine window businesses in the UK. Caradon will need regulatory approval before it can take its stake above 24.9 per cent.
