Bunhill: Marks & Spencer
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.THE SAGA of Marks & Spencer's Serbian shirts, first reported in the Independent on Sunday, refuses to go away. Dale Campbell-Savours, the MP for Workington, has been asking all sorts of angry questions in the Commons about how Dewhirst, an M&S supplier, came to be importing shirts from embargoed Serbia, made from material sent out from Britain.
The reason for his rage, he tells me, is that in his own constituency 'there is more than one firm which could do this kind of work'. At a time of record trade deficits and a devalued pound, he fumes, 'I find it hard to believe British workers could not compete.'
Over to you, M&S.
