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.PARTCO GROUP shares slumped 16 per cent yesterday after the UK's largest vehicle parts distributor warned that profits for the first six months of the current year would be below market expectations.
The shares fell 40p to close at 196.5p. The company, which owns 254 vehicle parts distributing companies in the UK, said that the mild winter had led to a decrease in demand for brakes and radiators. A decrease in overall demand for commercial vehicle parts and services was also behind the fall in sales.
