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.

GGT, the old Gold Greenlees Trott, gained 10p to 238p, just below the 12 month high. Shares of the advertising agency have climbed from 169p in the past year and their recent strength is thought to herald takeover action.

The company is believed to be trading well and should have produced around pounds 5.8m in the year ended April against pounds 4.5m.

Questions are being asked about Real Time Controls, the computer group. Yesterday it, in effect, issued a profits warning, saying profits would be similar to last year's pounds 1.7m. At least pounds 2m had been expected. There is surprise the trading statement was not released on Friday when chief executive Brian Emerson quit. The shares, then 314p, fell a further 20p to 223p.
