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.

oAllied Radio, the poor relation of the booming broadcasting sector, edged forward 0.5p to 3p in brisk trading. The loss-making group has a radio station in Manchester and another at Crawley, Sussex. The Crawley licence is up for renewal with the result of bids expected in October. There is talk of stake-building with Luke Johnson said to be leading the assault. The shares were once 250p.

oJohn Mansfield, the timber group, held at 3.25p. Joseph Lewis, who ran a leisure company, is believed to have built an 8 per cent shareholding to match the stake of director Rodney Graves. The firm has intrigued since it floated a year ago. It has a market capitalisation around pounds 3m, making it a candidate for a reverse takeover.
