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.

The board of Travelzest, the company which used to organise nudist holidays, has rejected a management buy-out.

The travel group, whose brands include holiday.co.uk and two Canadian holiday businesses, had been considering selling the Canadian businesses to the chief executive, Jonathan Carroll, and finance director, Adrian Cobbold, backed by private equity.

Nigel Jenkins, non-executive chairman, added: "Despite considerable efforts, we have been unable to reach an agreement on a price for the Canadian businesses that fairly reflects their value and which would have been acceptable to a majority of the company's shareholders."
