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.London & Metropolitan, the struggling property group, jumped 1.75p to 7.25p as one stockbroker described it as "a shell in the making in the buoyant property sector". The company has agreed a restructuring with its main banker, Bank of Scotland. As part of the deal BoS reduced its stake to 12.2 per cent, selling shares to L&M's directors. If the restructuring goes as planned the group will be near debt free with a few properties. The shares are at their best for more than two years.
Internet Music Shop Holdings is hoping to raise pounds 670,000, selling shares at 50p. It should arrive on Ofex next month. The company grew out of the Bookshop, one of Ofex's high flyers. IMS expects to break even in the first half of next year.
