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.

Fixed rate mortgages look rather attractive now rates are on the move.

Northern Rock has a two-year fix at 5.99 per cent for loans up to 95 per cent with a £250 fee.

Prudential has a novel stepped rate that starts at 6.99 per cent, then rises in December to 8.5 per cent until Septemeber 1997.

The loan which has an overall APR of 8.8 per cent has an arrangement fee of £295. It can be for 95 per cent of property value for first-time buyers and movers, and 90 per cent for remortgages.

Woolwich Building Society has three new fixes - 6.49 per cent for two years for loans up to 80 per cent of value, or 6.99 per cent for loans up to 95 per cent. It also has a four-year fix for loans up to 95 per cent at 9.49 per cent.
