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.

o Gowring, the family controlled car dealer which has ventured into fast food restaurants and now has 16 Burger King outlets, should achieve profits of more than pounds 750,000 this year against a pounds 332,000 loss last time.

John Fowles, the chairman, is striving to increase the Burger King operations and has a string of possible sites under review.

Gowring is now the third largest Burger King group in the country. The shares, which have advanced strongly, fell 8p to 100p.

o IAF, a financial group which came to the stock market last year via a reverse take over of the old Greyfriars Investment Trust, is likely to make profits of pounds 3.3m this year and pounds 4m next, believe stockbroker Greig Middleton. It rates the shares, at 18.5p,

a buy.
