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 Fairbriar, the building group where Bank of Scotland sits on 47.3 per cent of the capital as a legacy of past disasters, climbed 6p to 34.5p, making an 11.5p gain this week. It returned to the black in the first half of last year with a pounds 1.4m profit and year's figures should be out soon. But stories of a Kent undertaking are the main spur. It is rumoured that Fairbriar has a big development in the pipeline, probably with Rank.

r Card Clear, the credit card protection group, edged forward 0.5p to 43.5p as Credit Lyonnais Laing said buy, suggesting an initial target of 50p. It sees CC producing pounds 2.2m this year and pounds 3.3m next.

r Motion Media, suspended on Ofex for a cash call, returned at 155p, off 35p.
