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.

BARCLAYCARD has cut its interest rate from 1.85 to 1.79 per cent a month.

But the annual percentage rate has come crashing down from 27.6 per cent to 25.8 per cent for those who pay the pounds 10 annual fee, because of a change in the way the APR is calculated.

For students and others who escape the fee, the APR falls from 24.6 to 23.7 per cent.

The lower rate comes into effect for transactions from 1 November and will apply to all statements from 1 December.
