Jock at home in Chartwell
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.A new kitten has taken up residence at Chartwell, home of the late Sir Winston Churchill.
The wartime leader had a marmalade coloured cat which he named Jock, after Sir Jock Colville, one of his private secretaries. On his death, Churchill left wishes that there should always be a cat with four white paws and a white bib "in comfortable residence" at Charwell.
The original Jock attended wartime cabinet meetings with him and meals in his household were not to begin until Jock was present.
The current Jock was rescued by the Cats Protection charity.
