"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."
"Sir Keir Starmer is facing backlash after he scrapped a key part of his plans for digital ID, in yet another policy U-turn for his Labour government. Announcing the plan on the eve of last year's Labour Party conference, Sir Keir said people will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if they did not have digital ID as part of a bid to crack down on illegal immigration."
Sir Keir Starmer abandoned the mandatory digital ID requirement for right-to-work checks after initial plans to make digital ID compulsory to prevent illegal immigration. The requirement had been announced on the eve of last year's Labour Party conference and would have made digital ID necessary for employment in the United Kingdom. Ministers subsequently relaxed the compulsory element, allowing alternative digital documents for right-to-work checks. Former Labour minister Lord Blunkett described the U-turn with disappointment and linked it to a failure to articulate the policy’s importance. The Conservatives labeled the move a retreat, while the Liberal Democrats criticized Downing Street.
