Scott in trouble again
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.Sir Nicholas Scott, the former Cabinet minister, faced a new threat to his political career after being taken back to his hotel by the police after an Irish Embassy party in Bournemouth early yesterday morning.
A spokesman for Dorset police confirmed that a man was found in the street outside the main Conservative conference hotel and driven to his own hotel, but refused to confirm his name because no one had been arrested or charged.
In March, Sir Nicholas was narrowly endorsed as the Tory candidate for his Chelsea seat. Within days, he was banned from driving for a year for drink-driving and failing to stop after an accident in which he trapped a three-year-old boy between two cars. John Rentoul
