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.GORDON FOXLEY, the former Ministry of Defence official convicted last November of taking pounds 1.5m in bribes from overseas arms companies, is still a free man after another delay in his sentencing, writes Chris Blackhurst.
He was due to be sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court yesterday, but Roy Amlot QC, counsel for Foxley, told Judge Andrew Brooks that his client, who suffers from a heart condition, had become unwell after an 'incident' at his home at Henley-on- Thames in Oxfordshire last week. The judge agreed to an adjournment. It is the second time sentencing has been adjourned. It was originally set for 10 December last year, but was postponed pending a detailed financial report and moves by the Crown to seize Foxley's assets.
