"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."
"A ferry service directly linking Scotland and France could relaunch later this year as part of a 40 billion (35bn) regeneration project at the port of Dunkirk. The prospective cargo and passenger route from Rosyth in Fife to Dunkirk in northern France is part of a plan to regenerate the 60-year-old port area. It has been 16 years since passenger services ran a route from Rosyth to Europe."
"The last freight ferry connected to mainland Europe nearly eight years ago, ceasing after an onboard fire in 2018. Amid speculation about the route's return, Dunkirk Port officials stated last week that they hoped to see the new crossing in place before the Six Nations rugby tournament in early 2027. If viable, the ferry route could make Scotland more accessible for tourists travelling to France by car."
Donations fund on-the-ground reporting across US issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, enabling journalists to investigate and produce documentaries without paywalls. The outlet prioritizes accessibility by avoiding paywalls and relies on supporters rather than locking content behind subscriptions. A planned €40bn (£35bn) regeneration of Dunkirk port could relaunch a Rosyth–Dunkirk ferry service later this year, restoring passenger and freight connections. Passenger services last ran 16 years ago and freight services ceased after a 2018 onboard fire. Dunkirk officials hope the new crossing could be operational before the Six Nations in early 2027, potentially boosting tourism.
