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.

The garden also features a series of "rooms" including the Cherry Orchard, the Pink Garden, the Victorian Garden and a series of troughs cascading into a moat.

For What It's Worth
The number of estate agents reporting falling house prices has halved in the last six months. In July 1995 one third of agents in the monthly survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors said prices were going down. Now the figure has shrunk to one in six. A similar number of agents saw increases in business in the normally dark days of November and December, while 35 per cent said business had dropped off. There are sporadic outbursts of optimism but the majority of agents report that business is quiet and that buyers will look at nothing even marginally over-priced.
