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.

Heavy trading, including an agency cross of 850,000 shares, in Burn Stewart, a struggling Scotch whisky group. For months there has been speculation it could provide the "cask" for the stock market flotation of William Grant & Sons, the unquoted group which has led the industry's lucrative malt whisky charge. Burn Stewart, which has produced another set of disappointing figures, held at 45p. The shares were floated at 140p six years ago.

Carbo is on the verge of selling its foundry at Chesterfield; it could collect around pounds 2m. Since the group started a revamping exercise four years ago it has raised pounds 18.6m. The shares held at 28p.

Whispers of action at acquisitive Regal Hotels; the shares rose 1p to 44.5p.
