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.ONCE one of the City's favourite stocks, Queens Moat Houses, has come crashing to earth. Recent interims showing a creditable 5.4 per cent rise in profits were greeted with disdain in the Square Mile, with the hotel group's shares slumping from 70p to 51p. The fall has continued, with the shares touching 26p at one stage. But Paul Slattery of Kleinwort Benson believes the City, which is worried about the size of Queens Moat's borrowings and inability to fund future growth, is over-reacting.
