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.

CORRECTION (PUBLISHED 15 MAY 1994) APPENDED TO THIS ARTICLE

TODAY Peter Earl, the erstwhile chairman of Filofax and once Cosmopolitan's bachelor of the month, runs his eighth London marathon. For fortification he can rely on the delicious bread baked by veteran up-market baker and caterer Justin de Blank, supplier to Harrods and Tesco's new upmarket Metro chain.

Earl has great plans for de Blank. He has raised pounds 500,000 from a group of venture capitalists with a view of a stock market launch, possibly through a reverse takeover later this year.

CORRECTION

FINALLY, apologies: on 17 April, Bunhill wrote that Peter Earl had once been chairman of Filofax. He's never been a director, let alone chairman. Sorry.
