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.r Century Inns is expected to announce tomorrow the acquisition of around 100 pubs from Pubmaster, including the Tap & Spile managed house chain. The deal could cost pounds 30m and may be funded through a rights issue. It would lift the Century estate to more than 500 outlets and represent its first big move into managed pubs. Century, run by former brewery executive Alistair Arkley, is one of the pubcos formed to take advantage of the Beer Orders which forced large brewers to cut their tied estates.
r A profit surge at Wiggins, the property group, is forecast by stockbroker Greig Middleton. It expects profits to have climbed pounds 3.9m to pounds 4.9m in the year ended March and then to reach pounds 7.5m this year. The shares are 9.25p.
