UK ticks towards a new time zone
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 campaign to give Britain extra daylight during winter evenings by putting the clocks forward an hour had a boost yesterday as it cleared its first parliamentary hurdle.
The Government opposes calls for the country to be put on Central European Time for an experimental three-year period, but the Daylight Savings Bill, championed by a Tory backbencher, received a second Commons reading. The supporters argue it will save lives, lower energy bills, cut harmful carbon emissions, reduce crime and create up to 80,000 jobs in leisure and tourism.
