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.

Television producer Mike Mansfield has reduced his stake in showbiz group Galaxy Media, selling 30,000 shares at 110p against an unchanged 120p price on the backwater Seats market. He still has 13.63 per cent. Six months ago the shares hit a 200p peak.

African Gold Resources, an Australian-based explorer, arrived on the lightly regulated Ofex market. It has mineral prospects in Ghana and is seeking to expand. Its shares created little interest, holding at 5p, capitalising the company at pounds 3.4m.

Inspec, a chemical group, held at 235.5p. Analyst Philip Morrish at Nikko has lifted his estimates and sees profits increasing from pounds 32m to pounds 47m last year and reaching pounds 53.5m this year. He rates the shares a buy.
