UK hit by big freeze as Met Office extends weather warnings for snow and ice
"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."
"Britons are set for a freezing first weekend of 2026 as Arctic winds bring a cold snap across the UK. Multiple weather warnings for snow and ice issued for Friday have been extended into Monday, with as much as 20cm of snowfall possible in the highest parts of Scotland. The Met Office has issued amber weather alerts for parts of Scotland from midday on Friday for 24 hours as forecasters warn of a potential risk to life."
The Independent solicits donations to fund reporters covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. Donations support investigations into matters such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and documentaries like 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent states it is trusted across the political spectrum and keeps reporting free by avoiding paywalls, relying on support from those who can afford it. Arctic winds will bring a cold snap across the UK, with up to 20cm of snow possible in parts of Scotland, temperatures near 1C, and amber and yellow Met Office warnings for snow, ice, and a potential risk to life.
