"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."

"It would not be the first time that the mayor of a big city went on to become head of their country's government, though it's unusual. Three US presidents have done so (Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge), and in Europe there are the highly notable examples of Chancellor Willy Brandt (graduating from West Berlin), and Jacques Chirac (Paris). Here, of course, we saw Boris Johnson perfecting his populist skills in London before, in due course, graduating to the premiership."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech with on-the-ground journalism, investigations, and documentaries. Donations fund sending journalists to report both sides and support free access to reporting without paywalls, with costs borne by those who can afford it. Historical precedents include mayors who became national leaders, citing US presidents and European leaders such as Willy Brandt and Jacques Chirac. Boris Johnson developed populist skills as London mayor before becoming prime minister. The upcoming Gorton by-election raises the possibility that Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham could pursue a route to 10 Downing Street in 2026.
