"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."
"A record 1,611 homeless people, including 11 children, died in 2024, according to new figures, which lay bare the shocking impact of the UK's housing crisis. Four of the children were babies under the age of one and came as homelessness deaths rose 9 per cent on the year before up from 1,474 deaths in 2023, and 1,313 in 2022, the research from The Museum of Homelessness revealed."
"Over half of the deaths recorded last year were classed as deaths of despair, meaning the person died by suicide or the deaths were drug or alcohol-related. In one case, a man died within weeks of being released from an NHS mental health centre without a community treatment order that would have seen him supervised by doctors. Barnaby Spicer, who had a history of psychosis, died in November 2024 after he was released from Redwoods Centre in Shrewsbury."
