Bunhill: No semblance of reality
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 industry minister Tim Sainsbury was strictly correct when in March he laughingly scorned the Labour Research Department's claim that his stake in the supermarket chain was worth pounds 160m. The figure had 'no semblance of reality', he said.
Very true. It turns out the stake then was nearer pounds 300m, though the Sainsbury share price decline and a transfer of 8 million shares to a charitable trust last week has since whittled it down to a more manageable pounds 207m, according to documents lodged with the Stock Exchange on Friday.
