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.

With a few exceptions football club shares have failed to score with investors. One of the worst performers is Loftus Road, controlled by entertainment tycoon Chris Wright. The shares, seemingly weighed down by a steady stream of small sell orders, fell 2.5p to 29.5p, a new low. A few months after being floated at 72p in October 1996 they touched 106.5p.

The loss-making group has ambitious expansion plans but its two operations, the Queens Park Rangers football club and Wasps rugby club, have failed to perform, with QPR stuck in the middle reaches of Nationwide Division One and Wasps near the bottom of the Allied Dunbar Premiership.

Head hunter Whitehead Mann climbed 18.5p to a 217.5p peak; there is talk of a US strike.
