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 jury is out on Angela Spindler’s business skills, but no one should doubt her talent for mangling the English language.

This appeared in the latest sales update from the embattled boss of N Brown: “During the quarter we continued to streamline our organisation and our processes to embed a digital-first model. This year will be more significantly H2 weighted as the planned benefits of the changes made flow through, and we become more aligned with typical retail phasing.”

Thank you Nick Bubb of The Daily Retailer for highlighting this horror. But its also given me a headache. I think Ms Spindler wanted to say that things will cheer up for the clothes retailer in the second half of the year. Given that, perhaps she could afford to hire someone who can be relied upon not to destroy the language of Shakespeare?
