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.

Delancey withdraws Greycoat bid

DELANCEY ESTATES, the property company controlled by George Soros and Jamie Ritblat, son of British Land's John Ritblat, yesterday withdrew its hostile takeover bid for rival Greycoat and announced it would sell its 10 per cent share in Greycoat. The stake was acquired prior to Delancey's bid in March when shares stood at 168p. Yesterday Greycoat shares closed down 1p at 256p ensuring a tidy profit from the bidding war for Delancey and Mr Soros's Quantum Realty fund.
