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.Cyril Stein, the former Ladbroke chairman, celebrating his new venture, the St James's Club, which re-opens in London's West End today.
Mr Stein acquired the club from Queens Moat Houses, the troubled hotels group, for £6m in November. He has since spent £4m on refurbishments, expanding the residential club to 60 suites with dining rooms, and a gym. Suites, complete with marble bathrooms, start at £140 a night.
Mr Stein, 67, left Ladbroke early last year after 27 years. He said yesterday: "I'm not the retiring kind, and I needed a new challenge."
