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.Would you rather spend a quarter of a million on a beach in Cornwall, or two tiny garages in central London?
For £250,000, potential buyers could become the owner of Polkerris beach, in Cornwall their beach which attracts thousands of people each year.
The whole business includes the beach trading rights, RYA Watersports Centre, a café and a beach shop - and thousands of people each year.
But if you prefer to buy in the capital, you could purchase a couple of garages in Knightsbridge at £130,000 each.
Alternatively, a one bedroom flat on the eleventh floor of a block in Shepherds Bush Green or a two bedroom eight-floor pad in Kilburn are also up for grabs at exactly the same price as the Cornwall beach.
Polkerris beach has been owned by the Shillito family for seven years and there are still eight years left on the lease.
Bob Shillito told Western Morning News he was selling up to concentrate on his caravan site.
“On any given day I could be acting as harbourmaster for a visiting yacht, scooping ice creams, hiring out paddle boards, negotiating with equipment suppliers, and awarding sailing certificates all in the same afternoon. You never know what will come up next," he said.
