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.Outlook Bo Lerenius is clearly an anti-capitalist campaigner, a scourge of modern business bent on bringing down the system. Cunningly disguised as an experienced non-executive, he stalks boardrooms, unleashing chaos all around him.
He is today one of a batch of directors in the departure lounge at Thomas Cook, but he must feel that his job there is done. The business isn't entirely ruined, but the chances of a full recovery are slight, and the shares are down 90 per cent.
That's good work, possibly even topping earlier efforts, where as chairman of Mouchel he helped to fend off a takeover bid at 153p a share. Mouchel shares today? 5p. Splendid effort.
Oh, and he is also a non-exec at G4S, which just saw a £5bn deal collapse after shareholders vetoed the offer.
It's been an impressive run of form – they are very proud of him backin Sweden.
Critics say his best work is nowsurely behind him. It'd be nice to think he's got one last hit still in him. Rolls-Royce is doing pretty well. Perhaps they have a vacancy...
