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.

George Culmer, the former finance chief at RSA Insurance who quit to join troubled Lloyds Banking Group with a controversial £6m signing on deal, last night sold £2m of shares in his former employer.

Mr Culmer sold about 2 million shares at around 103p a share, RSA said in a stock market announcement.

Mr Culmer, 49, is due to start work at Lloyds on 16 May. His decision to jump ship caused a stir at RSA, which at one stage looked as if it could hold him to his 12-month notice period.

Lloyds had to act quickly after its previous finance director, Tim Tookey, quit to take on the same post at Resolution insurance.
