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.

r Storehouse is bumping along near its year's low. The shares fell 6p to 281p in often brisk trading. Murmurs can be heard around the market that an unfavourable circular

is about to appear. But it is said to have been delayed because, it is rumoured, the company has taken exception to some of the comments.

r Shoprite, forced into a distressed sale of its once high-flying supermarket chain two years ago, is enjoying one of its periodic runs. The company now has property and retail interest in the Isle of Man.

Its shares have edged ahead and yesterday gained a further 1p to 19p. They had a spectacular burst in the summer, hitting 21.5p. The market believes there will eventually be a revamping deal with assets injected into the company.
