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.NATIONAL SAVINGS is cutting its savings rates in the wake of the Bank of England's half-point cut in base rates earlier this month.
Short-term variable rates will be cut by between 0.25 per cent and 0.5 per cent, with the Investment Account falling to 4.5 per cent gross on amounts less than pounds 500. Income bonds will fall by 0.5 per cent to 6.5 per cent gross, while premium bonds will slip from 5.90 to 4.5 per cent. The cuts will be phased in between December and March.
