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.THE DRAGON that marks the limits of the City of London at the junction of Aldersgate Street and Fann Street was moved 120 yards north yesterday, the result of the Local Government Boundary Commission Review, writes Simon Pincombe. The first boundary changes to the City for centuries came into effect on 1 April and resulted in 1,300 new residents for the City, an increase in size from 740 to 779 acres, and the addition of numerous businesses and properties, including the Chiswell Street Brewery and the Broadgate development. The dragon now stands on the junction of Goswell Road and Baltic Street.
