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.

The creation of 700 jobs was announced yesterday by two car manufacturers - Rover and Honda - and by Moy Park, a poultry processing company in Northern Ireland. Honda is taking on 250 staff to work on the production line at its Swindon factory, where it produces the Civic small car and larger Accord saloon. Honda aims to boost output at Swindon from 100,000 to 150,000 cars a year before 1999. Rover is hiring another100 specialist engineers at its new pounds 25m design centre at Gaydon near Warwick.

In Northern Ireland, Moy Park will take on 350 staff as part of a pounds 31.5m investment programme that involves the building of a pounds 11m factory in Dungannon, County Tyrone.
