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.It was black day for departures in three company boardrooms yesterday. Anite Electronics, the communications software supplier formerly known as Cray Electronics, announced it had parted company with Jonathan Richards, chief executive.
He leaves immediately with a package estimated at pounds 500,000. He has been blamed for the problems which led to three controversial profits warnings and a pounds 20m loss in 1995-96.
TC Group, which created the UK's largest nursing home group following the merger of Takare with Court Cavendish last year, said Hamilton Anstead, managing director, had left on "amicable terms". He receives a payoff of around pounds 400,000.
The group, to be renamed Care First, announced pre-tax profits cut from pounds 21.8m to pounds 17m and said it was taking an exceptional pounds 15.3m tax charge to take account of the decision to end spending on new nursing homes.
Dick Bostock, managing director of Spandex, the Bristol-based sign-making supplier, has resigned to pursue other interests the company said yesterday.
