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.

Glenchewton's flirtation with pubs may be ending. The pots and pans group, which produced profits up from pounds 677,000 to pounds 1.64m, is said to be willing to sell its Country Style Inns, looking for around pounds 10m. It is thought to have made presentations to interested buyers. Glenchewton, which said CFI's expansion depended on finding suitable sites, made no reference to any pub sale in yesterday's results statement.

Text 100, a public relations group specialising in hi-tech clients, made a high-powered Ofex debut, reaching 42p against a 30p placing. Only 800,000 shares, 4 per cent, were placed. The company, which made profits of just over pounds 1m last year, was started 16 years ago - its first client was Rodime, now little more than a gamble on the outcome of US court cases.
