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.

Shares in Calluna eased 1p before they were suspended at 15.5p, pending "clarification of the company's financial position". The maker of miniature hard disk drives is in talks with a possible new stockbroker following the resignation of Albert E Sharp earlier this week and is working towards a "substantial fundraising". The shares peaked at 124.5p last year.

Wembley-based Ritz Music held at 82.5p on Ofex. The music company, which has Irish heart-throb Daniel O'Donnell under contract, has completed the acquisition of recording group Grapevine for pounds 1.72m in cash and shares. Grapevine boasts artists such as American folk singer Joan Baez and country star Emmy Lou Harris. Ritz is also buying RPI, its Irish distribution company, for a consideration of 875,000 shares.
