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.House prices fell by 4.3 per cent in the last quarter of 1992 according to the Halifax Building Society. This was a much steeper decline than the fall in previous quarters and the Halifax blames the ending of the stamp duty holiday in the previous quarter, and the dent to confidence caused by Black Wednesday. The steepest falls during the quarter were in the Midlands and parts of the South. Over 1992 prices fell by 7.8 per cent, compared with a fall of 3.5 per cent the previous year.
