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.

At an exhibition held by Brian Lack & Co in Hong Kong one buyer boasted that she had taken longer to buy a pair of shoes than she spent buying a pounds 150,000 two-bedroom penthouse in London's Bow Quarter. Let's hope she doesn't regret it, should she ever visit her investment in the East End. The agents sold 53 of 83 new flats in the Fairfield Road end of Bow Quarter to buyers in Hong Kong and Singapore. Eight of the buyers paid their deposits by American Express. Asian buyers have been big spenders in the East End. Do they realise how far away they are from Harrods?
