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.Guardian Royal Exchange is cutting its term assurance rates and now claims to be among the most competitive companies in this area of the market.
For example, 25-year term assurance of pounds 100,000 for a non-smoking male, aged 30, now costs pounds 18.20 a month, compared to pounds 23.86 before. Smokers see their premiums cut on the same policies, from pounds 35.80 to pounds 26.60.
The company is also cutting premiums on its separate Homeguard term assurance policies. Male non-smokers, aged 30, pay pounds 9.40 for a 25-year term assurance of pounds 50,000. Women pay pounds 7 for the same policy, down from pounds 9.20.
Couples, aged 30, taking out joint life cover of pounds 50,000 over a 25-year term see their premiums slashed, from pounds 19.33 under the old policy to pounds 11.90 with the new.
Existing policyholders continue to pay at the old rate, unless they decide to cancel their old policy and take out new cover. But the new price may vary because of age or other conditions.
Should policyholders want to switch their cover to GRE's Freedom endowment mortgage, no extra medical evidence will be needed.
