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.A SECOND enforcement notice is about to be served on Time Life International, the magazine publisher, by Westminster City Council, for its removal of a sculpture and clock from its Bond Street headquarters. The council has already served enforcement notices on Time Life in connection with its removal of a Henry Moore sculpture and Ben Nicholson painting. It claims the artworks are an integral part of the building, designed in 1952 by Michael Rosenauer. Time Life argues that the artworks were commissioned and paid for by it in the Fifties, when it moved into the building, and are not the property of the building's owners, Pearl Assurance. An appeal against the removal of the artworks will be heard in March.
