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.o The quaintly named Po Na Na chain of late-night bars is the toast of Nigel Popham, drinks analyst at stockbroker Teather & Greenwood. He believes the shares, traded on the fringe Ofex market, are on a too cautious rating at 15p, up 2p. He sees profits this year jumping from pounds 33,000 to pounds 400,000, with pounds 820,000 likely next year. The company, which is related to fully quoted Grosvenor Inns, has seven bars with North African themes, with another to open soon in Edinburgh.
o Courtyard Leisure looks interesting. The shares climbed 1.5p to 17.75p on indications margins at the wine bar business are improving. Robert Earl, creator of Planet Hollywood, has a 3.25 per cent stake and Lomond Investment, running the Drum & Monkey bar chain, has 29.9 per cent.
