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.Nearly 100 National Health Service staff will be made redundant from Cardiff Royal Infirmary under management plans to bring its overspent budget back into balance.
The Cardiff job losses, the first at any Welsh hospital since the Government's re-organisation of the NHS last year, include 30 nurses and amount to 5 per cent of the Infirmary workforce. Management put the hospital's deficit at around pounds 700,000, although unions estimate the figure at pounds 1.6m.
