Labour peer disappointed but not surprised' by Starmer's digital ID U-turn
"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. Sir Keir Starmer's U-turn on plans for mandatory ID cards has been fiercely criticised by former Labour home secretary David Blunkett,"
The Independent emphasizes funding to maintain on-the-ground journalism across topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. The publication cites investigations such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary titled 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet highlights a commitment to free access by avoiding paywalls and asks for donations to support reporting. Separately, Sir Keir Starmer announced a digital ID system, voluntary in most cases and intended to be mandatory for right-to-work checks. Ministers later rowed back on the compulsory element, prompting Lord Blunkett to criticize failures to explain rationale and implementation.
