Boost for Starmer as top aide Morgan McSweeney avoids investigation over donations
"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."
"The Electoral Commission has dismissed a request by the Conservatives to reopen an investigation into undeclared donations to Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney and Labour Together, saying they found no evidence of any other potential offences. The organisation, where Mr McSweeney was director before coming to work for Sir Keir, was fined by the elections watchdog over its handling of 740,000 donations in 2021."
The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. The outlet investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent foregoes paywalls and asks for donations to support sending journalists to report. The Electoral Commission dismissed a Conservative request to reopen an investigation into undeclared donations to Morgan McSweeney and Labour Together, finding no evidence of additional offences. Labour Together was previously fined by the elections watchdog for its handling of 740,000 donations in 2021. A leaked 2021 email suggested framing nonreporting as an administrative error.
