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.

YORKSHIRE Building Society has taken advantage of expectations of higher interest rates in the longer term by launching a four-year fixed- rate bond that guarantees to pay 8.5 per cent a year.

The society claims it offers one of the highest rates available on the market.

Rates for five-year guaranteed income bonds are also rising. Prosperity Financial Services is offering 8.41 per cent free of tax for investments above pounds 15,000.

Shorter-term bond rates remain lower. Over three years, Prosperity, the highest payer offers 6.62 per cent for investments above pounds 25,000.

For two-year investments, the rate drops to 5.73 per cent. Many of these rates are available via a commission- sharing deal with Baronworth Investment Services.
