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.

Delancey to raise Greycoat offer

DELANCEY ESTATES, the property group owned by financier George Soros (left) and Jamie Ritblat, son of British Land's John Ritblat, is set raise its hostile offer for the Central London developer Greycoat today. A defence document produced yesterday by NM Rothschilds for Greycoat derided Delancey's original all-paper offer which valued the group at 215p a share. Rothschilds, which said the bid was a 24 per cent discount to Greycoat's 283p a share net asset value, said Delancey had offered the wrong price, in the wrong currency, with the wrong management. Greycoat's own management, backed by Mercury Asset Management, is also among the bidders. All bids must be submitted by 19 May.
