"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Britain should embrace voluntary ID cards, Sir Keir Starmer has said, just weeks after announcing that digital identification will become compulsory to work in the UK. The prime minister said that while mandatory digital IDs are very important for employment, Britain could gain a significant advantage by adopting the cards for wider use. His comments came on a plane to India for a two-day trade visit to Mumbai, where he will hold meetings on how the South Asian nation uses digital ID."
The Independent reports on reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating topics from PAC finances to documentaries that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging and provides free reporting without paywalls, relying on donations to fund journalists on the ground. Prime Minister Keir Starmer supports voluntary ID cards alongside a planned mandatory digital identification system for employment by 2029 to address illegal working. He suggested wider national adoption of ID cards could bring significant advantages and cited India’s digital ID system during a trade visit to Mumbai. Opinion polls showed public support fell after the mandatory-employment announcement, but the policy remains framed as central to tackling illegal migration.
