"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."
"Newly declassified government files reveal that following the devastating 2004 Madrid train bombing, Mr Ahern wrote to Tony Blair, warning of a "transnational catastrophe" that could impact Ireland if international terrorists targeted the Cumbrian site. However, documents released to the National Archives at Kew, west London, indicate that Mr Blair declined the request for intelligence-sharing, citing the necessity to safeguard the confidentiality of UK sources."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and maintains open access without paywalls. Donations support sending reporters to interview diverse perspectives and investigate topics such as financials of political PACs and documentaries on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Newly declassified government files show MI5 rejected a plea from then-Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern for UK intelligence-sharing about potential terrorist threats to the Sellafield nuclear facility after the 2004 Madrid train bombing. Tony Blair declined the request to protect the confidentiality of UK sources, offering instead assurances of ambassadorial briefings if threats emerged.
