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.

RENTING NEEDN'T be boring if you choose something like this loft apartment in the Old Aeroworks in Hatton Street, London NW8. The two-bedroom apartment is one of five in a converted industrial building, which was constructed for the Palmer Tyre Company in the Twenties. The firm went on to make gun turrets, tyres and brakes for Spitfire and Hurricane fighter planes and Wellington and Lancaster bombers during the Second World War.
This two-floor flat has two bathrooms, a reception room with wooden floors and high windows with sculptured metal shutters, and a spiral staircase leading up to the bedroom.
To be let unfurnished at pounds 580 a week; details from Knight Frank on 0171- 431 8686.

The farm has a private drive, and there is also a walled rose garden. The house is for rent at pounds 1,500 per month. Details are available from Strutt & Parker on 01473 214841.
