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.

Ofex, the share market created by market maker John Jenkins, yesterday recruited its 100th constituent - Daniel Thwaites, a near 200-year-old Blackburn brewer with 420 pubs and a hotel chain which includes London's Stafford in St James's Place. At its 375p opening price it is valued at pounds 72.5m.

The flow of Ofex newcomers continues. Woodstock, a 46-strong pubs chain is hoping to raise pounds 600,000, selling shares at 20p and Robotic Technology Systems is attempting the biggest Ofex cash call yet - a pounds 2m issue.

Its parent, Finnscrew of Finland, has developed a system to grind propellers which is said to be much quicker and more accurate than traditional methods. RTS will spearhead an internaitonal sales and marketing drive. About 30 per cent of the company is being sold at 20p.
