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.Philip Green's friends are a lucky bunch. Three of them - Tom Hunter, Michael Spencer and Stuart Rose (among Britain's richest men) - made enormous profits when their pal made a bid to take over Marks & Spencer. They shortly before bought huge numbers of shares in the company. All three deny knowledge of Mr Green's imminent bid, of course, but the Financial Services Authority has launched an investigation. Whether these men are found guilty or not, it was hardly a wise move by any of them. The impression, even if wrong, that this group of wealthy men have abused their position will not be easily expunged.
