"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."
"Ex-police constable Brian Sharkey, who retired in May 2025, made a series of comments in undercover footage which aired in a BBC Panorama documentary in October belittling claims of racial bias and talking about disposing of evidence, his misconduct hearing in south London was told. At a pub following a shift in January last year, Mr Sharkey's colleagues were discussing a police officer getting away with committing sexual assault, the tribunal heard earlier."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech through on-the-ground reporting and investigative projects. The outlet avoids paywalls and seeks donations to fund reporters so quality journalism remains publicly accessible. Ex-police constable Brian Sharkey retired in May 2025 after undercover footage aired on BBC Panorama showing him making offensive remarks. Footage captured him belittling claims of racial bias, discussing disposing of evidence, and joking about rape and sexual assault. A south London tribunal found the behaviour breached professional standards and amounted to gross misconduct, with a panel noting the remarks undermine public confidence in policing.
