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.

SWEDISH STOCKS posted their biggest losses since early October, with the OMX index shedding 5.8 per cent to finish at 586.

Ericsson, the third-largest mobile phone maker in the world, recorded its biggest-ever one-day loss - 28 per cent - as it said profits would undershoot and margins would fall as demand shifts to cheaper models. Astra dipped 6 per cent, paring the 13 per cent surge on Wednesday, on fears that its merger with Zeneca may not deliver a profits boost as soon as anticipated.
