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.

Investors piled back into SuperGroup yesterday after the fashion retailer said it had "rectified" an IT glitch that left it out of stock in the autumn and dented its profits.

The chief executive Julian Dunkerton also gave a cautious thumbs up to the high street review from Mary Portas, particularly her recommendation to encourage markets in town centres.

Shares in SuperGroup, which owns the Superdry and Cult clothing brands, soared by 36p to 538.5p, continuing the rollercoaster ride since it floated at 500p in March 2010. The retailer's interim profits fell by 4 per cent to £13m, after a calamitous integration between its warehouse systems and main computers in August hit sales.
