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.

MORE heavy trading in nursing home minnow Tamaris, where 91 million shares changed hands. Schweco Nominees, acting on behalf of Stockton Industries, revealed it had a 4.14 per cent stake. Chairman William Fitch recently bought a 20 per cent stake at 3p a share. The shares firmed 0.5p to 2.75p.

INTERNET Technology Group, providing internet connections, firmed 6p on AIM. It has leased 155MB of capacity on a transatlantic cable in a 25-year deal. Although the capacity is six times more than ITG had before, it is costing no more. The company is free to sell the capacity it isn't using on to other users.

TRACKER Network, which provides satellite tracking of stolen cars and counts the British Police among customers, announced an eightfold increase in profits to pounds 1.64m, and unveiled plans to transfer its shares from AIM to the official list. The shares jumped 75p to 717.5p.
