People and Business: The Archers
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.RICHARD LAY, president of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), has got more on his plate than he anticipated at tonight's annual property bash.
For the RICS' annual dinner tonight at the Great Room in the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, Mr Lay has booked Ken Livingstone to debate with Lord Archer "The qualities required for the mayor of London."
The glittering occasion will be given added piquancy by the suspension last week of Lord Archer's son James Archer from Credit Suisse First Boston where he is being investigated for alleged financial irregularities.
Will anyone refer to this unfortunate occurrence?
Follow the debate live on the Internet at the RICS' site on www.rics.org.
