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.ROBIN COOK'S former wife says she did a "dreadful thing" in writing her memoirs about their life together and if she met him she would say "sorry".
Margaret Cook, while saying there is "no point in regretting things you do under that sort of drive", tells Woman's Own today: "It's a dreadful thing to have done. There's part of me that says perhaps nobody deserves that - to have so much revealed about you, so much that's private and intimate.
"But there's no point in regretting things you do under that sort of drive ... if I was to regret it at all, it would have been these past few weeks."
Asked if she and the Foreign Secretary could ever be friends, she says: "I rather suspect we can, actually. I've exorcised all my ghosts.
"I don't think he could quite react to me in that way at this moment in time. I suspect he feels really quite angry. But time's a great healer."
In her book, A Slight and Delicate Creature, Mrs Cook told of her former husband's affairs, drinking bouts and how he rejected her when told by party bosses that he must choose between his wife and mistress.
