    Like most insurers, they have been cutting back on staff for years. Only difference now is that the media likes reporting it to help scaremonger.

    Insurers like to cut jobs as the way they save money is either reducing staff costs, reducing claims payments or reducing advertising.

    Insurers in the UK are now pretty stable and an Insurer going bankrupt is pretty unlikely. If your Insurers did go bankrupt there is some protection for claims, have a read of this website http://www.fscs.org.uk/consumer/key_facts/limitations_of_the_scheme/compensation_limits/
