Bunhill: P&O board
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.Board meetings at P&0 must be wide-ranging and deeply personal affairs judging from the comments of Lord Sterling, the ferry group's chairman, at its shareholders' annual get- together on Friday. Answering questions about his company's continued support for the Tories ( pounds 100,000 in each of the last two years), his lordship was at pains to point out that he was appointed to the board of the then nationalised British Airways by Labour's John Smith, that he is not a personal political supporter of John Major and three of P&O's 13 directors 'do not support the Conservative Party'. Which makes me wonder, just who are they and how does he know?
