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.Hard times ahead: Duncan Davidson, chairman of housebuilder Persimmon, is considering scrapping the company's contribution to the Tories. He called on the Government yesterday to reverse changes to mortgage income tax relief and to abolish stamp duty. His plea came as the company kicked off the builders' reporting season with a 10 per cent fall in half-year pre-tax profits to pounds 10.2m. The shares tumbled 17p to 175p.
