The Independent requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. Donations support investigative work, including examinations of financials and documentaries that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet remains free to readers by avoiding paywalls and relying on supporters to fund journalism. Conservatives propose banning loud music on buses and increasing enforcement of antisocial behaviour rules on trains. Proposals aim to ensure operators enforce existing railway byelaws, amend the Bus Services Bill, and introduce penalties such as on-the-spot fines to protect commuters.
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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
Bus passengers could be banned from playing loud music under new proposals put forward by the Conservatives. The Tories indicated that commuters on train journeys could also benefit from tougher enforcement of existing rules aimed at tackling antisocial behaviour. Shadow transport secretary Richard Holden said passengers should not have to endure somebody else's choice of crap music. While railway byelaws currently prohibit playing music to the annoyance of any person, the Tories will seek to ensure operators properly enforce the rules in future legislation.
