UK could become Trump's poodle if it fails to invest in defence, Badenoch warns
"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."
"Kemi Badenoch has warned against Britain becoming a poodle to Donald Trump, promising to rebuild the country's defences if she became prime minister amid mounting global instability. The Tory leader also took aim at Reform UK, saying the party is afraid to speak seriously about hostile states. Her comments come amid growing global instability, with Donald Trump threatening to slap fresh tariffs on the UK and Europe over their opposition to his threats to annex Greenland."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, sending reporters to developing stories and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet asks for donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and keeps reporting free of paywalls, relying on support from readers who can afford it. Kemi Badenoch warned Britain could appear weak to the US and advocated rebuilding national defences if she became prime minister amid mounting global instability. She criticized Reform UK for avoiding serious discussion of hostile states. The Conservatives faced a turbulent week after Robert Jenrick defected to Reform.
