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.o United Auctions (Scotland) has run away from Sir Ron Brierley, the New Zealand financier, who through Guinness Peat bid 275p for a near 30 per cent stake. The Brierley offer appeared the day UA arrived on AIM at around 210p. Since then the shares have not looked back and yesterday raced ahead another 30p to 525p. Sir Ron's 275p offer is a non-starter. Clearly he will have to think about a higher bid.
o On the week when the backwater 4.2 share market is doomed to expire, expect a rush to join AIM, its fledgling replacement. NWF, an agricultural group which earleir this year nearly merged with quoted Carr's Milling Industries, has arrived, as well as clay pigeon and cartridge group, CCI. NWF was briskly traded at 295p; CCI held at 108p.
