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.London's service sector saw business grow more quickly in the first quarter of 1996 than in any quarter since the start of the recession, according to a survey of some 250 London-based companies carried out by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The survey showed a record number of companies reporting increased domestic business.
There was also a big jump in business confidence with 68 per cent of companies expecting profitability to increase over the next 12 months.
