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.TIE RACK, the struggling retailer chaired by Roy Bishko (pictured above), plunged into the red and scrapped its dividend in the first half of the year as the Asian economic turmoil and the effect of the strong pound caused a slump in sales, the company said yesterday.
The news sent shares in Tie Rack, which issued three profit warnings this year, down 2p to a five-year low of 23.5p.
The company, which owns 465 stores across the globe, posted a pounds 4.3m loss in the first six months of the year, compared with a pounds 158,000 profit in 1997.
