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.Christies International, the fine art auctioneer, rose 8p to 224p as the market continued to speculate about the intentions of near- 30 per cent shareholder Joseph Lewis. There is talk that he has found a buyer for his stake, believed to be Far Eastern, and a sale will lead to a cash bid for the group. Mr Lewis wanted representation on the Christies board but was, it appears, rebuffed.
Springwood, formerly timber group JO Walker, returned to market as a leisure enterprise with the shares trading at 708p against a 743p suspension price. Trading halted while Walker acquired pub and other leisure interests owned by chairman Adam Page, the man who created Midsummer Leisure out of the commercial arm of Camra in the l980s.
