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.IF YOU want to see the wondrous sculpture pictured below, you have to go to the headquarters of British Rail's Trainload Freight business in Islington, north London. Here, says Keith Crane of BR, 'it's greatly appreciated'. This is just as well: Patrick Barker's sculpture, entitled Watching Whilst Those Around You Limber, cost BR something over pounds 6,000.
BR was advised to buy the piece by Anna Malyckyi of Fine Art Consultants, who claims it is 'designed to be visible from many parts of the building. It's accessible and fun with its lively tumbling figures'. Whether Barker's sculpture will survive privatisation is another matter.
