Manners: How to prevent office fridge wars
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.News that the Leicester MP Liz Kendall has had her lunch – a tuna salad – stolen from a House of Commons fridge sent shockwaves through representatives who can no longer rely on expenses-paid lunches at White's Club in St James's (Tory) and the Gay Hussar in Soho (Labour).
"Don't leave anything in here unless you're happy for it to go missing," the Labour MP wrote on a note attached to the fridge door, only for the brazen thief to reply with a note saying, "I took it… and I'd do it again."
Perhaps Ms Kendall could try the Trending solution. We have a fridge nearby and keep light-fingered hacks away with a mixture of off milk, mouldy cheese and past-their-sell-by-date sandwiches. Even a Tory MP would think twice about nicking a tuna salad from here.
