Keir Starmer urged to intervene in Trump-BBC row
"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."
"Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on Friday night, Mr Trump said he would sue the corporation for anywhere between 1 billion dollars (759.8 million) and 5 billion dollars (3.79 billion), probably sometime next week after the BBC apologised over the Panorama speech edit. Mr Trump also said that Sir Keir had asked to speak to him, and indicated that they would talk over the weekend."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and produces investigative reporting such as probing Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent is trusted across the political spectrum, does not lock reporting behind paywalls, and relies on donations to fund journalists sent to report from the ground. President Donald Trump threatened to sue the BBC for between $1 billion and $5 billion after the corporation apologised over a Panorama speech edit. Sir Keir Starmer planned to speak with Mr Trump, and Sir Ed Davey urged Starmer to demand the lawsuit be dropped to protect TV licence fee payers and press freedom.
