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.

Talk of more property takeover action. One story going the rounds suggests Wiggins, unchanged at 9.25p, is eyeing CNC Properties, up 5.5p to 76.5p, a shade below last year's peak.

Wiggins, revived by Oliver Iny, took over Tomorrow's Leisure in a deal pricing the group at pounds 16.2m earlier this year and last week stockbroker Greig Middleton forecast a sharp profits advance.

CNC, born out of the old Clarke, Nickolls & Coombs sweets business, has itself been acquisitive, buying Brightstone Properties and Milburn Estates.

Allied Colloids, the chemical group, firmed to 130p; NatWest Securities expects year's results, due today, to show a 28 per cent advance to pounds 54m with the dividend lifted 10 per cent to 3.15p.
