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.

House Duke of Westminster v Birrane; CA (Nourse, Mann, Saville LJJ); 10 Nov 1994.
For the purposes of s2(2) of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967, which provided that references in that part of the Act to a "house" did not apply to a house which was not structurally detached and of which a material part lay above or below a part of the structure comprised in the house, the part of the house which lay above or below a part of the structure not comprised in it was a material part of the house if it was of sufficient substance or significance to make it likely that leasehold enfranchisement would prejudice the enjoyment of the house or another part of the structure, whether by reason of the inability of one freehold owner to enforce positive obligations against successors in title of the other, or otherwise.
Robert Reid QC (Boodle Hatfield ) for the appellants; Paul Morgan QC (Jeffrey Green Russell) for the respondent.
