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 POLICE did not rule out the possibility that it could have been an accident. The plastic bag and the electrical flex could have been accessories to a risky sadomasochistic masturbation, since lack of oxygen to the brain increases sexual pleasure. The outfit of stockings and suspender belt, although exotic, is not outside the norm within the amatory practices of the English upper classes.

(STEPHEN) Milligan paid dearly for his liaisons dangereuses. One of the few Conservatives of 'the old guard' composed of impeccable gentlemen likens the present period in Great Britain - all scandals and depravity - to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Some say that the Conservatives, resigned to defeat, spend their time experimenting with new sexual experiences rather than defending themselves from the assault from Labour . . . The Britain which Prime Minister Major promised to return to the traditional values of 'God, the country and the family' is looking more and more like ancient Rome at its worst.

(MILLIGAN'S) death, in troubling circumstances, is intriguing. It also relaunches the controversy over the morals of the political majority. Since the beginning of the year, a series of scandals founded on corruption and extra-conjugal pranks has occupied political life. At the same time, it is the credibility of the Conservative Party and the Government which is at stake.
