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.

Grant Bovey, the video entrepreneur who attempted to buy Nottingham Forest in conjunction with Lawrie Lewis, is considering a stock market flotation with a view to buying another football club, writes Nigel Cope. The flotation would see Cruise Holdings, which includes his Watershed Pictures video company, take a listing, probably on the Alternative Investment Market.

Mr Bovey did not disclose which clubs he might attempt to buy but said he had held "loose talks with a few".

His attempt to buy Nottingham Forest collapsed when Mr Lewis, his main backer, withdrew support at the last minute. He said he did not want any future bid for a club to be reliant on the backing of one person.
