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.Sainsbury's Finance has launched two new home insurance products aimed at Sainsbury's shoppers.
Those with a Nectar loyalty card, who buy the standard insurance, will receive a discount of up to 15 per cent on their premiums. However, shoppers who take out the Premier Cover Home Insurance will earn double Nectar points on their groceries for two years – the equivalent of up to 2 per cent off their shopping bills, according to the supermarket.
It says that for a customer regularly spending £100 a week, the value of the Nectar points will be £104 a year, equivalent to 49 per cent of the average combined building and contents home insurance premium.
Andrew Hagger, of the price comparison website Moneynet.co.uk, says: "If you are a Sainsbury's customer and live in a safe area with low premiums, it is probably a good deal. If, however, your premiums are around £800 to £900 a year, it is still worth shopping around."
Until 4 June, customers can receive 12 months' cover for the price of nine on Sainsbury's buildings, contents and combined buildings and contents insurance, and a further 20 per cent discount if they buy online.
