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.

Southend Property may have struck it rich in Australia. It has 29 million shares in Titan Resources where the price has more than doubled following what appears to be a substantial nickel discovery. The property group's Aussie stake, in the balance sheet at pounds 2m, is now worth pounds 12m. Southend's shares were valued at 71.5p in January when British Land, NM Rothschild and new chairman Graeme Jackson moved in. The Barclay brothers are also shareholders. There are worries its 92p a share asset valuation, which was current at the time of the Jackson deal, will be pulled back although Titan is now worth 10p a share. The shares rose 2p to 42p.

rJust, a character merchandiser, moved from Ofex to AIM, gaining 1p to 4.5p in the process.
