America puts Britain in shade
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 US put the shrinking British economy firmly in the shade at the end of 2011, growing at the fastest rate for a year and a half.
The world's biggest economy expanded at an annual pace of 2.8 per cent between October and December, short of hopes of 3 per cent, but still a marked acceleration from the third quarter's 1.8 per cent. Car makers, which suffered badly after the Lehman Brothers crisis, were among the star performers.
