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.

Sunleigh, a struggling maker of baby buggies and golf trolleys, accounted for a large slice of the market action. It achieved a turnover of 84.7 million shares with parcels of up to 9 million going through. The price moved up 0.5p to 5p.

The company has had a torrid time with only one profit recorded since 1990. The market guess is one of the institutional shareholders has called it a day, perhaps leaving the way clear for a cash and management injection.

Interim profits of Cookson, the industrial materials group, could be disappointing. Greig Middleton is shooting for pounds 84m against pounds 81.2m.

For the year it is looking for a gain from pounds 181.2m to pounds 208.5m. The shares rose 4p to 262p.
