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.

LONDON & MANCHESTER'S group chief executive, Tom Pyne, is to net some pounds 846,000 from the sale of shares and options in the wake of last week's pounds 750m agreed takeover of the insurance company by Friends Provident, the mutual.

The other boardroom bid beneficiary is David Newman, whose holding will be worth pounds 571,470. Former transport secretary John MacGregor's 1,048 shares are worth pounds 6,288. Among other staff, 66 participating in the employee scheme share a profit of around pounds 400,000. Friends' 600p a share offer represents an 18 per cent premium to the price the day before the offer was announced.
