Everything we know about Labour's asylum crackdown and new visa restrictions
"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. 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. It's a tough message Shabana Mahmood will hope will reach the disgruntled voter, the criminal gangs smuggling people on small boats, and even the would-be migrants on the northern shoreline of Pas-de-Calais 100 miles from Westminster. On Monday afternoon, the home secretary will reveal sweeping reforms to the asylum system in an unprecedented bid to make it easier to remove migrants fleeing conflict and hardship and make the UK a less attractive destination."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech while seeking donations to fund on-the-ground journalists and avoid paywalls. The outlet emphasizes investigative work, including financial probes and a documentary titled 'The A Word'. The UK has seen the highest number of asylum applications since 2011 and nearly 20,000 small boat crossings in the year to June. The Keir Starmer government has faced criticism over border control, and prior measures included targeting people-smuggling gangs and a one-in, one-out deal with France. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will introduce sweeping asylum reforms to facilitate removals and reduce the UK's attractiveness to migrants.
