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.Meanwhile, a row broke out yesterday between BZW and the City Corporation, which claimed that the Barclays subsidiary could lose up to 40 per cent of its staff as a result of moving to Canary Wharf.
Michael Cassidy, the corporation's chairman of policy and resources, also said the £1,000 a year compensation BZW is paying the 1,800 staff moving to docklands was the equivalent of £5 a square foot on the rent.
Mr Cassidy claimed senior BZW management expected a 40 per cent fall out, but a spokesman for BZW said: "It is absolute unadulterated nonsense. We do not expect to lose any of our staff as a result of the move. We have been recruiting some very high quality people in recent months who know we are moving to Canary Wharf."
