"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."
"The number of asylum claims in the UK has hit a record level, latest official data shows, as Shabana Mahmood plots a sweeping overhaul of the system to make the country less attractive to refugees. The home secretary's radical package of measures, which would see the deportation of failed asylum seekers fast-tracked, has triggered a Labour rebellion with MPs accusing the minister of ripping up the rights and protections of people fleeing conflict."
"Other proposals would see people granted refugee status returned home if their country is deemed safe. They would also have to wait 20 years to apply to settle permanently in the UK, unlike the current five years. Families with children could also be forced to leave under measures to remove those with no right to be in the UK, while visas would no longer be granted for family reunion."
The Independent deploys reporters across major issues, investigates high-profile financial and political stories, and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word', refusing paywalls and relying on donations to support journalism. Official data shows record asylum claims in the UK as Shabana Mahmood advances a sweeping overhaul intended to make the country less attractive to refugees. Proposed measures include fast-tracked deportation of failed claimants, returning refugees if their country is deemed safe, a 20-year wait to apply for permanent settlement instead of five years, possible removal of families with children, and ending family reunion visas.
