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.

Norwich cuts bonuses

Norwich Union has reduced its annual bonus by up to 0.75 percentage points, saying it expects investments to grow by less when the UK joins a single currency. With-profits endowment savers will get an annual bonus of 6 per cent, compared with 6.5 per cent last year, while pension savers will see their bonus cut to 6.75 per cent from 7.5 per cent. However, policies maturing this year will pay out record amounts, up to 13 per cent higher than in1997. Friends Provident has also cut bonuses while Scottish Provident has reduced bonuses on pensions.
