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.Muji, the Japanese homewares and clothing chain with 12 UK stores, is to push on with its European expansion after a leap in profit last year.
It wants to open stores in its existing European countries from France to Sweden, as well as in "new markets", either directly or by franchise.
Muji Europe's pre-tax profits grew by 16 per cent to £3.86m over the year to 28 January, on sales up 4 per cent to £61.18m.
