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.The Financial Services Authority is losing an increasing number of employees as the City regulator moves closer to being broken up by the Government. In the first five months of this financial year, 202 members of staff left the watchdog, a 26 per cent increase on the same period a year earlier, according to figures supplied by the FSA.
In April, 54 people quit after they were paid their annual bonuses, up from 36 the year before, when the City jobs market was booming.
More employees are leaving the market regulator as it prepares to be split in two by early 2013, when the supervisory arm will move to the Bank of England and a separate financial conduct agency will be established.
