The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech through reader donations. Donations support sending journalists to cover developing stories and enable free access by avoiding paywalls, with costs covered by those who can afford to contribute. Yvette Cooper criticised Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch for rhetorical responses to migration, saying they merely 'stand on the shoreline and shout at the sea.' The home secretary defended practical measures to curb dangerous small-boat crossings, cited expected returns under a France deal, and emphasised step-by-step work like ending asylum hotels and supporting genuine refugees.
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.
Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.Your support makes all the difference.
Ms Cooper said: You can just stand on the shoreline shouting at the sea and that is what the opposition parties have been doing. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the first returns under a deal with France are expected this month (House of Commons) Or you can get on with the hard graft, roll up our sleeves and do it step by step.
