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.

Reveal Servisair bids, says Amey

AMEY, the business services group mounting an pounds 80m hostile bid for Servisair, yesterday called on the airline services company's management to come clean about the identity of alternative bidders. Brian Staples, Amey chief executive (pictured), said: "We think this board needs to get on with things and stop wasting shareholders' money on their defence. Plenty of time has gone by since our offer [on 22 January]." Speculation about a rival to Amey's 200p-a-share cash bid has centred on Compass Partners. Servisair closed unchanged at 212p.
