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.The lorries and logistics group Stobart has warned its operating performance will miss expectations this year, blaming the "uncertain economic environment".
Stobart is to close its chilled operation but said its newest venture, the relaunch of Southend Airport, has beaten expectations for its first year, flying more than 600,000 passengers. Stobart also said its transport and distribution division, which brings in about 90 per cent of its revenues, would focus on controlling costs during January and February, the final two months in its fiscal year.
