And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls."
"Calls have been made for Boris Johnson to be stripped of his access to an allowance for former prime ministers over allegations he has profited from contacts he made while in office. The Guardian published a series of stories based on leaked data provided by a non-profit organisation that suggest Mr Johnson profited from contacts and influence he gained in office."
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating finances such as Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes on-the-ground reporting and refuses paywalls, relying on donations to fund journalists and maintain broad access to reporting and analysis. Calls have been made to strip Boris Johnson of his former-prime-minister allowance amid leaked-data allegations that he profited from contacts and influence gained in office. Allegations include lobbying a senior Saudi official to share a pitch with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and receiving payments after meeting Nicolás Maduro. The government faces calls to suspend the allowance pending a full investigation.
