"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."
"We'd had a general election where every single major political party ... had promised to exempt some areas of public spending. They'd said we're not going to cut pensions and we're not going to cut defence and we're not going to cut science', so the bits of government that were not protected, and that included higher education had to take swingeing cuts."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, sending reporters to developing stories and avoiding paywalls to keep journalism accessible. Donations fund reporting and investigations such as examining political PACs and documentaries on women fighting for reproductive rights. Nick Hillman, an architect of the student loan system, urged lowering interest rates as debate intensifies. Hillman was a special adviser when Plan 2 loans were created for graduates starting university between 2012 and 2023. Those graduates are charged interest at RPI plus up to 3%, despite a 2013 ONS finding RPI unfit for purpose. Hillman said the system was created in a 'mad rush' in 2010, forcing higher education to take swingeing cuts.
