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.

FOSTERS Trading Company, with 40 menswear shops and 600 staff, is to be handed back to the directors after four months in the hands of BDO Stoy Hayward administrators. A vote by the company's creditors has sanctioned the handover.

Turnover at the stores in the four months of administration was nearly pounds 30m, compared with pounds 95m for the 173 stores running in 1997. Once the handover is complete there will be over pounds 5m available for distribution to creditors.
