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.

CAN this be a buy recommendation for Lasmo, most despised of oil stocks? Yes, says the bold Lars Reierson of Morgan Stanley. Lasmo 'could be the next BP' - shorthand for the fact that the same American investors who snapped up BP when their British brethren were bearish already own nearly a fifth of Lasmo. The pro- Lasmo argument is the same: considerable undervaluation compared with its American equivalents. With exploration teams active in eight areas, Reierson reckons that the first find could take the shares from their present 145p to 200p or more.
