"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."
"Shabana Mahmood has unveiled a shake-up to rules for legal migration aimed at reducing the number of people coming to the UK, just days after announcing reforms to the asylum system, telling the Commons that settlement in the UK is a privilege, not a right. The shake-up will see the government move towards a new contribution-based model, with mandatory conditions for people applying for earned settlement. These include having a clean criminal record, paying National Insurance for the last three years, speaking English at A-level standard, and having no debt to the government."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics and maintains open access by avoiding paywalls. Migrants could only be eligible for benefits and social housing once they become British citizens. People in the country illegally could have to wait up to 30 years for long-term residency under new government plans. The government will move toward a contribution-based settlement model with mandatory conditions for earned settlement, including a clean criminal record, three years of National Insurance payments, A-level standard English, and no debt to the government. The default ILR qualifying period will increase from five to ten years.
