Tories to shed up to 60 staff
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.Redundancy notices will start going out today from Conservative Central Office as part of an attempt by the party to reduce a deficit of about pounds 19m.
Cuts of between 50 and 60 staff will be formally announced on Friday by Sir Norman Fowler, the party chairman. They will affect staff working in Central Office and party offices throughout the country.
