"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."
"Water regulator Ofwat has proposed that Wessex Water pay an 11 million enforcement package following significant failures in the operation and maintenance of its wastewater network. The penalty, to be funded by Wessex Water and its shareholders, addresses the company's inability to adequately manage sewage and wastewater flows. This inadequacy, identified by the watchdog on Tuesday, directly resulted in spills from storm overflows."
Reporting spans reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while emphasizing investigative journalism and free access funded by reader donations. Donations are used to send journalists to cover developing stories and to keep reporting available without paywalls, with funding expected from those who can afford it. Ofwat has proposed that Wessex Water pay an £11 million enforcement package for failures to operate, maintain, and upgrade its wastewater network that led to storm overflow sewage spills. The penalty will be funded by Wessex Water and its shareholders and cannot be passed on to customers. Similar probes earlier this year generated about £240 million in enforcement actions, and Wessex increased bills by around 20 percent, or £113, this year.
