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.

After months of gentle slumbering, shares of Jennings Brothers, a brewer based at Cockermouth in Cumbria, have come to life. This week they climbed 30p to a 370p peak. Four institutions have stakes but the most intriguing shareholder is unquoted Frederic Robinson, a bigger brewer based at Stockport in Cheshire. It has almost 9 per cent. Carlsberg Tetley has 5.3 per cent.

Weather Action, an independent weather forecasting business, is expected to accompany next week's interim figures with details of an intriguing contract with a major group. Floated in October at 79p Weather Action shares rose 8.5p to 80p.

Merchant bank Dawnay Day has taken a 9.27 per cent stake in property tiddler Deyln at 117p. The shares rose 15.5p to 115p.
