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.WELL, I did warn you about this Naomi Campbell novel. That it was not exactly her own work. 'It couldn't have been written without her,' was the discreet way her publishers, Heinemann, put it, you will recall. But what a fuss] The ghost hunt is on. No one is safe. Even Edwina Currie has had to correct a report that her striking work A Parliamentary Affair was composed by somebody else, although, frankly, Edwina, having read it, I would have let the idea catch on. And now the literary finger is pointing at no less imposing a figure than Eve Pollard, the celebrated late editrice of the Sunday Express (the celebrations took place in a wine bar when staff heard of her departure), who has a book out next April, published by Hodder Headline. The Captain is told that this is part of a two-book deal worth pounds 200,000 and involving the help of two writers. Well, Eve has certainly never done things by halves, but I just cannot bring myself to believe this. Hodder Headline has no comment to make; Eve is abroad. I will keep you posted. This canard must be nailed, if you follow me.
