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.NEW L-registration cars could be selling at the rate of pounds 1m a minute when garages and car showrooms open for business this week, the industry hopes. About 68,000 vehicles with a value of more than pounds 600m will be offered on the first day of the new registration.
They will account for about 17 per cent of the expected 400,000 car sales in August.
'A 400,000 figure would be about 10 per cent up on the August 1992 figure,' said a spokesman for the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
