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.RENTS in favoured central London areas fell by almost 11 per cent in the year to June. The recession has forced companies to take a much harder look at relocation and accommodation costs in such places as Chelsea, Belgravia and Kensington, says Savills Residential Research. Some companies will no longer pay staff rents.
The firm's Central London Rent Index says that price falls mean the area must be attratctive for future buyers because of the prospects for capital growth.
