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.Ennemix, the little aggregates group, has attracted another industry giant. RMC has emerged as the mystery buyer, picking up 1.1 per cent of the capital at 50p a share through James Capel. It is seeking more stock for "strategic reasons" but has no plans to bid.
Its action follows a 46p agreed offer from French group Lafarge and an unsuccessful bid from Redland earlier this year. With Lafarge and Redland each sitting on 41 per cent of the aggregates tiddler RMC will have difficulty putting together a worthwhile stake
Osborne & Little, the fabrics group, jumped 42p to a 12 month high of 710p. The shares have climbed 80p since it took on the world-wide distribution of Liberty's furnishing fabrics and wallpapers on Friday.
