Labour criticises Tory shadow attorney general for representing Roman Abramovich
"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."
"Kemi Badenoch is facing growing pressure to take action after it was revealed that her shadow attorney general is acting as a lawyer for Roman Abramovich, despite the UK government having sanctioned him. The Labour Party has dubbed his position indefensible, arguing it risks a conflict of interest with his political position. On Monday, justice minister Jake Richards wrote to Mrs Badenoch to ask whether Lord Wolfson had recused himself from any party policy regarding the former Chelsea owner's assets."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech by sending journalists to report from the ground and by producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet seeks donations to continue on-the-ground reporting and maintains free access by avoiding paywalls, relying on supporters who can afford to pay. Kemi Badenoch faces growing pressure after her shadow attorney general, Lord Wolfson, acted as lawyer for sanctioned Roman Abramovich. Labour calls the role indefensible and warns of conflict of interest. Justice minister Jake Richards asked whether Wolfson recused himself from party policy on Abramovich's assets, and Labour chair Anna Turley urged Badenoch to clarify awareness and insist no representative of a sanctioned individual sits around the shadow cabinet table.
