Ernst in trouble
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.

After reaching an an out-of- court settlement last week to pay pounds 1.35m to Tunstall Group, a shareholder in Sound Diffusion, the accountancy firm now has to cope with a claim from Mr SJ Western, of Woodford Green, Essex. Mr Western's wife bought 2,000 shares in Sound Diffusion after reading in the Independent that Tunstall had increased its stake. Mr Western has therefore written to Nick Land, London managing partner of Ernst & Young, asking him to consider 'my modest claim for pounds 752, as adjusted by the retail price index and loss of income to say pounds 900'. Don't all rush at once.
