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.THE TREASURY has appointed Sir Ian Gibson and Kathleen O'Donovan (left) as non-executive directors at the Bank of England.
The appointments, which carry no involvement in, or responsibility for monetary policy, fill the vacancies left by Sir Colin Southgate and Sir David Lees, who stepped down after completing two terms at the end of May.
The appointments, which are made by the Queen on the recommendation of the Chancellor and the Prime Minister, are for three years. Sir Ian is vice president of Nissan Europe, while Ms O'Donovan is the finance director of the engineering group Invensys. The Treasury also said Christopher Allsopp, Howard Davies and Neville Simms had been re-appointed as non- executive directors to the court of the Bank.
