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.New evidence that London is bucking the generally gloomy housing trend comes from the Winkworth chain of estate agents. The group's business last month was up 60 per cent on June 1993, the month the market started to slow down last year. While agents across Britain say this June has been a patchy and disappointing, Winkworth reports business in the capital is still brisk. It says prices in some parts of central London - Notting Hill in particular - have risen by up to 20 per cent in the past six months. However, like many other agents, it expects prices to level out in the autumn as buyers turn to less expensive areas.
