"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."
"Sir Ben Wallace has said he would not have backed the use of a secret gagging order to cover-up the catastrophic Afghan data breach that potentially put thousands of Afghans who helped UK forces at risk from the Taliban. The former defence secretary told MPs on Tuesday that he had directed that a time-limited injunction be used to protect the news of the data leak while the Ministry of Defence (MoD) scrambled to understand what had gone wrong."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and keeps its journalism paywall-free, funded by those who can afford it. An Afghan data breach occurred after an official emailed a spreadsheet of contact details outside the Ministry of Defence, discovered in August 2023 and resulting in the secret relocation of thousands of Afghans to the UK. A superinjunction was imposed and remained in place for 22 months before a High Court lifted it in July. Sir Ben Wallace said he directed a time-limited injunction while the MoD investigated and insisted the government should not entirely cover up the breach.
