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.

Courtyard Leisure, the London wine bar operator, shaded to 15p as the rumoured deal turned out to be a link with Wiggins, the property group. Wiggins, which has a substantial stake in Tomorrow's Leisure, is taking interests in Courtyard up to 29.9 per cent. Courtyard will run the catering sites at Wiggins' Kent International Business Park and has first refusal at other sites.

IG Index, the financial bookie, is taking bets for the first time on individual share moves. The "runners" will be 12 blue chips with speculators able to take a view for up to three to six months. Short-term credit positions may be taken without the costs involved in normal dealing, and "there are no capital gains or income tax involved", says Stuart Wheeler, the managing director.
