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.Harrods claimed in court that its reputation for all things excellent was in danger of being polluted by the "bad odour" of a sex scandal at a south London prep school.
The Knightsbridge store has asked the Court of Appeal to ban the prep from calling itself The Harrodian School on the grounds that it is passing itself off as having some connection with Harrods and trying to cash in on the company's good will. The judgement was expected yesterday, but in the meantime, Harrods came up with fresh evidence - press cuttings relating how the school's owner, Sir Alford Houstoun-Boswall, had sacked his wife Eliana as headmistress after she had an affair with a teacher.
