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 printer Hunters Armley climbed 2.5p to 106p on the back of upbeat comments from David Bird, the chairman. He told shareholders at the group's annual meeting that first-quarter demand remained buoyant while the second quarter had started well. All five operating units had shown encouraging growth, he said. Last week Hunters appointed Charterhouse Tilney to replace Panmure Gordon as its brokers. Charterhouse expects Hunter's profits to reach pounds 3.8m in the year ending September.

The curiously named Waterfall Holdings, the AIM-listed operator of pool and snooker halls, nudged a penny higher at 74p. It has paid pounds 451,000 for two new Cue sports clubs in Birmingham and Gloucester and the freehold of a site in Reading.
