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.Stephen Hinchliffe is determined to turn himself into Harry High Street. Not content with buying the Sock Shop chain, the Salisbury bag shops and the Torq jewellery stores in the past few months, the Sheffield-born entrepreneur yesterday paid "se veral million pounds" for Red or Dead, the right-on fashion designer and retailer.
Founded by Wayne Hemmingway, one of the presenters of the BBC's Clothes Show, Red or Dead has sold something called the Watch Shoe to Bros, the former pop group. In 1989 it launched a designer collection called Space Baby, which proved a success.
Mr Hinchliffe, who acquires 14 shops as part of the deal, declines to comment on whether he will be purchasing some trendy threads from the stores.
