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.

WATCH Hadleigh, the engineer. There is talk of corporate activity. The shares rose 12p to 250p; they have risen from 193.5p this month. Last year profits hit pounds 2.1m and a similar result seems likely for the year ended in March.

PROMINENT Information, offering a newspaper monitoring and information service, claims the distinction of being the first Ofex company to have a rights issue fully underwritten. A pounds 900,000 call has been backed by Hong Kong-based Cathay Pharchem Trading. The shares are 25.5p; dealings in the nil paid rights start next month.

STAKE building at Reece, the distributor? There is talk that a construction group is in the market picking up shares. An institutional sale of around 5 per cent was quickly absorbed. Reece shares firmed 0.25p to 2.25p, a 12 month high.
