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 development of flats however, stands in well-groomed grounds on suburban Putney Hill. The top-floor flat currently for sale has four bedrooms (one overlooks the tennis courts, though the fourth is more suited in size to a study), and is being sold with a share of the freehold and a garage. There's a lift to the top floor. The price has been reduced by pounds 30,000 to pounds 375,000; details from Gascoigne-Pees (0181-788 7884).
STRICTLY SPEAKING, Parade View Mansions in Marine Gate, Portsmouth, isn't a mansion block, it's a restored redbrick barracks with rows of chimney stacks and polished windows. "Mansions" does have grander connotations - so the developer Redrow Homes hopes. All but one of the 20 two-bedroom flats have been sold, reflecting the waterside location. All flats are equipped with a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washer-drier and oven, and white bathroom fittings. The price is pounds 151,950; details from the sales office on 01705 818838.
ALBERT PALACE Mansions is a landmark block, standing in Lurline Gardens, near Battersea Park and Queenstown Road, SW11. It has easy access to trains and buses and is popular with buyers whose other little place is in the country. Number 99 is a top (fourth) floor flat with three bedrooms. The 14ft reception room is decorated in fashionable terracotta and cream, with a French door leading onto a balcony. For sale at pounds 275,000 - details from John D Wood (0171-228 0174).
