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.

NOW THIS really is strange. What is going on at Black & Edgington, the quoted minnow of an engineering company. They have called their annual general meeting on 31 December. Nothing strange in that you might think, but you'd be wrong.

That date is a Saturday, and if I were a shareholder I'd get down there pronto. After all, experience would suggest that Saturday is not the most convenient day for an investor to attend an AGM.

But the company seems unable to throw any light on this bizarre and absurd state of affairs. "I don't know why it's on a Saturday. I really don't," a secretary tells me.
