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.Hunting, the aviation group, has clambered off its year's low of 110p on suggestions it could be taken out of its misery by a friendly takeover bid.
The shares gained 8.5p to 138.5p with the Cobham aviation group cited as the likely predator.
Interim figures are due next week and are expected to be accompanied by a dividend cut, which could make the Hunting family more willing to listen to offers for its near 30 per cent interest.
RAP, the rubber and plastic group, fell 9p to a 60.5p low as the market fretted about its ability to turn round the Welpac nuts and bolts packer.
The shares have fallen from 165p a year ago. The company acquired Welpac, on rescue terms, in August last year.
