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.DIRECTORS of paint, inks and property group Manders yesterday urged shareholders to reject the 'hostile and opportunistic offer' from rival Kalon.
They are also writing separately to Kalon's shareholders explaining why they should vote against the all-paper bid worth about pounds 100m at the company's extraordinary general meeting.
'The high level of Kalon's profits is both recent and fragile, and its source of strength in 1991 could quickly become a source of weakness. It has much to fear from an independent Manders,' the company says in its defence document.
