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.TORDAY & Carlisle, the Newcastle-based engineer, warned yesterday that trading in the second half of the year to December had been 'significantly more difficult than in the first half'. The company said that the final dividend would be passed for the second year running, writes Tom Stevenson.
The shares, which were valued at 115p by a hostile bid in November 1991 from Dowding & Mills, closed unchanged at 23p. Floated at 155p, they reached 185p before a pounds 13.3m loss in 1992 sent them into free-fall.
The profits warning accompanied news that Torday was to sell Elfab, a pressure device manufacturer, for pounds 4.7m.
The company said the disposal was necessary to fund the costs of complying with environmental regulations at a Dutch subsidiary.
