Bunhill: Aden Barclay's new house
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.MY SPIES in St James tell me that Aden Barclay, son of David and Frederick, has purchased the late Dolly Rothschild's house.
And it comes with a fine provenance: it was the house where, in 1989, Jimmy Goldsmith, Kerry Packer and Lord Rothschild (Dolly's son) planned the assault on BAT and became a sort of HQ when the battle was at fever pitch.
And there is more. It is two doors down from Rupert Murdoch's flat, and opposite the hotel where Mark Thatcher held his stag party.
At present, there is a fantastic amount of building work going on, and my man who knows about these things just prays that the mural inside remains intact. It is he says, 'quite fantastic.'
