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.

MUTUAL ONE is a company consisting of eight Midlands-based building societies, which have combined to launch a new three-year "stepped discount" mortgage.

This deal gives a 3 per cent discount on each society's own variable- rate mortgage in year one, a 2 per cent discount in the second year and 1 per cent in the final year.

At present variable rates, the cost of a loan, available up to 80 per cent of a property's value, is up to 3.94 per cent in year one. Because some societies' rates are lower, the amount payable in the first year could be less. There are no compulsory insurances.

The deal is available exclusively through FirstMortgage Direct. A pounds 295 arrangement fee is payable. Call 0800 080020.
