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.

Enterprise Oil gushed 15.5p to 683p, a few coppers below its peak, as stories flowed around the market it would roll out a major deal on Monday.

One suggestion was it planned to bid for a well-known US oil group.

Enterprise is known to be on the takeover trail and rumours have linked it with a number of oil groups in recent months.

Jarvis, the construction group which has moved into railway maintenance, has confirmed it has another major deal in its sights.

It is involved in talks to form a joint venture with Relayfast, which looks after 6,000 miles of track.

Its main customer is Railtrack.

Jarvis advanced 9p to 286.5p; two years ago the price was just 4.75p.
