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.

ON AIM, Albemarle & Bond firmed 2.5p to 55p. The pawnbroking group recently saw its Texas rival Ezcorp take a 29.96 per cent stake - just below the level requiring a formal bid. Albermarle executives are meeting their US counterparts over the Easter weekend to find out what their intentions are.

FOUNTAIN Forestry dropped 6.5p to 161p on AIM. The shares, floated at 75p late last year, had soared to 187.5p earlier in the month helped by the fact that they qualify for reinvestment tax relief. However the imminent abolition of the tax break has prompted investors to rethink the stock's merits.

STRIPTEASE club operator Cherokee Leisure, quoted on Ofex, is opening an outlet in Birmingham. The club, to be called Cherokee at Club 64, will open its doors to punters on April 3. Cherokee already has two other clubs. The shares eased 2p to 19p.
