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.

EXPECT news soon that Tunstall Group is retreating to its core business of emergency alarms for the elderly, by selling off the remaining businesses it collected during its not-overly successful foray into security systems. That should please the City, where Tunstall shares have picked up quite a following over the past couple of years.

Since the beginning of 1991, the shares have risen from little over pounds 1 to their present level of 295p. The company having just settled out of court for pounds 750,000 plus costs in its long-running dispute with Ernst & Young over the collapse of Sound Diffusion, the shares look to have further to run yet.
