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.

Jersey European revives flotation

JERSEY EUROPEAN Airways, the Exeter-based airline owned by Jack Walker (pictured), the former steel baron and current owner of Blackburn Rovers, is back on track for a pounds 100m-plus listing on the stock market next year, after posting profits of pounds 6.1m in the six months to 30 September. Profits were 35 per cent up on the same stage last year and well ahead of the pounds 5.5m total for the whole of 1996/97.

Plans to float the airline, which operates flights to Northern Ireland and France as well as the Channel Islands, were postponed earlier this year after the stock market peaked in July.
