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.

HONGKONG & Shanghai Bank has further consolidated its hold on Midland Bank's UK operations by replacing the head of branch banking and the director of human resources with its own executives, writes John Willcock.

Chris Wathen, managing director, branch banking, who has been with Midland for more than 20 years, will be leaving the bank 'by mutual consent', and Bryan Barnacle, human resources director, is retiring.

The post of head of branch banking has been absorbed by Midland's new deputy chief executive, Richard Orgill, who was with HSBC Australia.

Barry Hine, senior manager human resources in HSBC Holdings, will take over as Midland's head of human resources.
