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.

CYRIL STEIN'S hotels and betting shops group, Ladbroke, should report profits of between pounds 100m and pounds 105m on Thursday - an increase of about 5 per cent on last year. With the dividend likely to be held, the yield of 10.5 per cent looks safe.

Ignore speculation that Ladbroke is to buy New York State's huge off-track betting operation. Governor Mario Cuomo would like to sell, but Ladbroke - the only interested party - is keener on a management contract.
