"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."
"For Britons across the country, the first few weeks of 2026 have brought serious flooding, travel disruption, flight cancellations and school closures. Weeks of heavy rain as well as three named storms have battered the UK, with Sheffield failing to record a single hour of sunshine in February so far. Despite the dismal beginning to the year, scientists have discovered that Britain's weather is improving overall and has become 4 per cent sunnier since 1994."
Journalists are being deployed to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, funded by donations that keep quality reporting free and accessible without paywalls. Investigations include the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Early 2026 brought severe flooding, travel disruption, flight cancellations and school closures across Britain after weeks of heavy rain and three named storms, with Sheffield recording no sunshine in February so far. Scientists report Britain is 4 per cent sunnier since 1994. European and UK measures to reduce pollutant particles — including sulphur dioxide controls, cleaner car engines, renewables and electric vehicles — have driven major air quality gains, and UK sulphur dioxide emissions have fallen 97 per cent since 1990 following coal power station closures.
