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.Supermarket chain Asda lowered its petrol prices today and said the reduction would last until at least the end of the August bank holiday weekend.
Asda is cutting 1p off a litre of petrol, which will now cost no more than 111.9p a litre at its 180 filling stations.
The company is also knocking 2p a litre off diesel, which will now be no more than 114.9p a litre.
The reductions come as Asda's monthly income tracker showed family spending power was down 4.2% year on year, equating to a £7 fall in disposable income each week.
In addition, new research released later today by Asda will confirm that the outlook to the end of the year remains challenging.
The research shows UK families could face the lowest amount of disposable income in the final quarter of 2010 for two years.
Asda president and chief executive Andy Clarke said: "These are increasingly uncertain times for millions of families across the UK."
