"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."

"Actor Sir Michael Caine and football legend Alan Shearer have urged the Prime Minister to ban smacking, urging him to lead with "courage and compassion". Their plea is contained in a letter to Sir Keir Starmer, signed by many figures, due for Downing Street delivery Tuesday. Sir Michael stated he is "proud to be part of the call for an end to such a 'damaging and harmful practice'"."
The Independent requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and to keep journalism accessible without paywalls. Public figures including Sir Michael Caine and Alan Shearer have signed a letter urging the Prime Minister to ban smacking and to lead with "courage and compassion." Signatories argue English law offers children less protection than adults because smacking remains legal. Wales banned all corporal punishment in March 2022 and Scotland introduced a similar ban in November 2020. The Children Act 2004 permits hitting a child where it is judged reasonable punishment, and a similar defence exists in Northern Ireland.
