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 founder of troubled outsourcing group Quindell has relinquished part of his role following a turbulent few months that have seen the company's shares hammered by short sellers.
Quindell, which began life as a country and golf club, handles outsourced insurance claims for car insurers and also makes black boxes for vehicles to help insurers monitor how customers drive. Rob Terry will become non-executive chairman of the AIM-listed group but be replaced as chief executive by Robert Fielding, currently head of its services division.
The company has been under pressure since April when a US company called Gotham City Research, which admits on its website that it might take bets against the shares it writes about, issued a note with a host of damning claims about its finances, causing it to lose about £900m from its value. The company denied the claims.
Shares in the AIM-listed group rose 7 per cent in early trading but closed down 0.75p at 17p after it announced the overhaul of its board and claimed that the value of new contacts was likely to be worth more than £250m this year.
