End of the road for Ladas
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.Russian-built Lada cars have finally reached the end of the road in Britain, it was confirmed yesterday. Seventy jobs will be lost at the company's Humberside import centre after a rescue attempt failed.
No more new cars will be imported, but Lada owners, thought to number about 100,000, will still get parts and servicing through UK dealers. Often the butt of jokes, the Lada has actually proved quite popular in Britain since it went on sale in 1973.
