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.

Emerald Energy, the Colombian oil play, added 0.75p to 7.25p as stockbroker Teather & Greenwood said the shares, as speculative investments go, are "matched by few alternatives". But analyst James Glancy, who sees a pounds 2.5m profit in the 12 months ending September next year, stressed Emerald is not for the faint hearted.

Rank, the leisure group, is showing analysts its famous Butlin's holiday centre at Skegness tomorrow. The market is intrigued by suggestions they should dress down for the occasion - suits are out but jeans and T-shirts are in.

Warner Howard, the business support group, fell 6.5p to 183.5p. Ten per cent of its capital changed hands last week with Aberforth Partners and Legal & General increasing their shareholdings. John McCready at stockbroker Marshall forecast profits of pounds 8.1m this year.
