"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."
"A huge tunnelling machine, the first of two designated to carve out HS2's route to Euston, has launched its operation despite lingering uncertainty surrounding the central London station's development. Named Madeleine, in tribute to Madeleine Nobbs, the former president of the Women's Engineering Society, the machine is projected to spend approximately 18 months excavating a 4.5-mile path from Old Oak Common in west London. Its launch on Tuesday was overseen by Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones and rail minister Lord Hendy."
The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across issues and relies on reader donations to support journalists who speak to both sides of a story while keeping content free of paywalls. The outlet investigates financial links such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. A tunnelling machine named Madeleine has begun excavating a 4.5-mile tunnel from Old Oak Common toward Euston and is expected to take approximately 18 months. Major construction at Euston has been halted since March 2023 due to ongoing funding uncertainty, and in October 2023 a plan was announced to seek private investment to save 6.5 billion of taxpayers' money rather than have HS2 Ltd carry out the project.
