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.

Falls in mortgage interest rates for first-time buyers continue in the wake of some big lenders' decision to cut the cost of borrowing.

Among the new offers is one from Coventry Building Society. Borrowers can opt for a three-year fixed-rate mortgage at 5.45 per cent for loans of up to 70 per cent of valuation. The rate climbs to 5.9 per cent for 95 per cent of valuation. There is an arrangement fee of pounds 225.

The society also has a new 3.99 per cent 15-month discount mortgage until 31 March 1995 for loans of up to 95 per cent of valuation with no arrangement fee.

Northern Rock offers a two-year fixed mortgage at 5.25 per cent until January 1996, 5.95 per cent until January 1997 and 6.3 per cent to January 1998.
