"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."

And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.

"Sir Keir Starmer's party campaigned last year on a pledge to introduce basic rights including parental leave, sick pay, and protection from unfair dismissal as part of the Employment Rights Bill. But the government has now backtracked on the policy after concerns raised in the Lords about the impact it could have on small businesses saw it struggle to progress through parliament."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism covering issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, and refuses to use paywalls so reporting remains widely accessible. Sir Keir Starmer's party had pledged basic employment rights, including parental leave, sick pay and day-one protection from unfair dismissal within the Employment Rights Bill. The government has now backtracked, changing the planned day-one protection to a six-month qualifying period after Lords raised concerns about impacts on small businesses. Ministers had previously rejected a six-month compromise, and the current statutory qualifying period stands at 24 months.
