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.

Britax profits up

BRITAX INTERNATIONAL, the aircraft and car equipment group, which raised pounds 160m from disposals and reinvested it in manufacturing, yesterday reported a 21 per cent increase in pre-tax profits to pounds 26.8m in the first half of the year. The profits rise was achieved despite a pounds 1.4m impact from the strength of sterling and weak demand for its child car safety seats.

The new emphasis on aircraft fittings and vehicle safety products has left Britax "well positioned to ride out any possible recessions, as people tend to keep spending on safety," the company said.
