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.Security & General Media, a printer, slumped 22p to 27.5p. A trading report saying losses were higher than expected did the damage. The struggling loss maker was revamped last year after Philip Davies, who runs the Warm Welcome hotels and pubs group, and John Gulliver, an American lawyer, moved in.
Landround, a promotions group, jumped 31p to 225p, a peak. Last week it reported interim profits up 250 per cent to pounds 405,000. Audrey Carroll at stockbroker WH Ireland expects pounds 825,000 for the year and pounds 1.1m next. The group is thought to be on the verge of clinching a highly ambitious promotions deal.
WH Smith's surprise pounds 9.4m bid for internet bookseller Bookshop.Co. sent the Ofex shares soaring 165p to 250p. Another Ofex company, IMS Communications, an internet music retailer related to Bookshop, gained 17p to 82.5p.
