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.

A ROUTINE investigation by the Stock Exchange's insider dealing group into dealings by St James's Place Capital and others in the shares of Great Universal Stores is understood to have cleared St James's of any suggestion of impropriety.

In a report on 18 July, the Independent on Sunday said that the insider dealing group had launched an investigation into purchases of voting shares of GUS by St James's, the investment group headed by Lord Rothschild.

It is understood that the Stock Exchange fully accepts that these purchases were part of a series dating back to December 1991 in pursuit of a long-term investment strategy to build a stake in the shares.
