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 James Millar, the recently-installed chairman of WEW, yesterday bought 150,000 shares in the company a day after it released a poor Christmas trading statement. The price rose 0.5p to 17p. Mr Millar has become something of a takeover indicator in recent years. He was formerly chairman of Wm Low, taken over by Tesco, and at Invergordon Distillers, acquired by Whyte & Mackay almost four years ago.

r Manchester United scored off the pitch, netting a total pounds 6m from a publishing deal with Video Collection International. The deal gives United, up 2p to 191p, pounds 2.5m cash up-front and pounds 3.5m of royalty payments over the next 30 months. In the next 10 years VCI will publish all new videos, books, magazines and other formats under the Manchester United name.
