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.

Garban and Intercapital in talks

THE CONSOLIDATION of the securities and money-broking industry took another step forward yesterday with the announcement that Garban and Intercapital are in talks over a merger that would create a brokerage firm worth more than pounds 260m. Sources suggested the two sides are in the early stages of thrashing out an agreed all-share merger after Intercapital's chairman, Michael Spencer, approached his counterpart at Garban, which was spun off from United News & Media last year. An agreement is not expected before Intercapital's full-year figures next Tuesday, expected to show a trading profit before exceptionals of about pounds 17m.
