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.rShares of PizzaExpress are looking overcooked, unless a bidder moves soon. They rose 11p to a 527.5p peak with buyers convinced a brewer or a leading leisure group will devour what is seen as a mouth-watering morsel. Whitbread's takeover of the Pelican restaurant chain and Rank Organisation's acquisition of the Tom Cobleigh pubs group have heightened expectations. A year ago the shares were 190p. The US group, Janus Capital, a fan of high flying JD Wetherspoon, has built a near 20 per cent stake.
rHollas, the struggling clothing group, is looking even more threadbare. The shares, 21p a year ago, fell 3p to 4.5p as a seller dumped 1.6 million at 4.25p. The company lost pounds 3.2m in 1995 and is likely to have suffered further losses last year.
