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.

ENIC, the former investment trust, still wants to buy a Premier League football club despite its rebuff last month by Tottenham Hotspur.

Finance director Gerry McSloy said a Premier League franchise remained a desirable commodity. "We would look at any of the clubs with top 10 league status."

Enic, now a fully listed company, lost pounds 4.5m in the 15 months to 30 June compared to a pounds 1.37m profit the year before. Losses per share were 5.73p (3.08p earnings). The shares fell 1p to 143p.
