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.Mike Hulme, a mature student reading enterprise, innovation and communication at the University of Staffordshire, is the winner of our Budget competition.
He answered all 10 questions correctly and wins a case of Coopers & Lybrand 'own-label' champagne.
He predicted no change in the basic 25 per cent tax rate and said that personal allowances would increase by less than the rate of inflation.
The other eight possibilities - which included an increase in the higher rate of tax, higher limits for Tessas and an increase in the standard rate of VAT - were all correctly dismissed as non-runners.
Mr Hulme, who is 25, ran pubs before he started university this year. He saved up to enable him to return to education.
He has a mortgage but does not run a car. 'The higher fuel bills will affect me the worst,' he says. 'The Chancellor helped people on income support but he didn't do anything for students.'
Just one other entrant - S P Wood from Sheffield - got all the answers correct.
