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.

S G Warburg, the merchant banker, is to be appointed by British Rail to advise on the financial implications of the fast link from the Channel tunnel to London, which was mentioned in last week's White Paper on rail privatisation.

Warburg is already working with the new projects division of BR under John Prideaux over the complicated financial problems BR has encountered in building the Heathrow Express, the fast line from Paddington to the airport in west London. It will act independently of Lazards, which is advising BR over privatisation, and Samuel Montagu, which is advising the Government.
