"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."
"Prime minister Keir Starmer has been accused of hypocrisy after the UK reduced its funding to the UN's World Food Programme by a third. The Labour leader had pledged to prioritise the fight against hunger and vowed to tackle suffering and starvation at a G20 summit in Brazil upon entering government. But Britain has since cut funding to the WFP from $610m (448m) in 2024 to $435m (319m) last year."
A news outlet seeks donations to fund reporters covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting free of paywalls. Donations support sending journalists to report from both sides and to produce documentaries such as 'The A Word' on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The UK reduced its funding to the UN World Food Programme from $610m in 2024 to $435m last year, prompting accusations of hypocrisy toward Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Critics warn that simultaneous cuts by other countries will increase starvation; Afghanistan faces nearly 23 million people requiring aid and 12 million lacking food, and the WFP has shut 298 relief sites.
