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.

Long-suffering investors in Jacques Vert, the womenswear retailer, were dealt another blow yesterday when dealings in the company's shares were suspended at 21.5p pending publication of the annual report and accounts for the year to 3 May.

A spokesman for the company said losses for the last year would be close to pounds 9m.

Prior to the suspension price, Jacques Vert had a stock market value of just pounds 6.6m, having been worth more than pounds 50m when the shares peaked at 173p last year.
