"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."
"Former defence secretary Sir Grant Shapps and ex-Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith have signed a letter along with other politicians and former senior military officers to Donald Trump asking him to intervene to block the Chagos deal. Serious concerns remain over the impact on UK and US defence and security with threats to the operational ability of the Diego Garcia case in the Indian Ocean, which Sir Keir Starmer's government claims it is protecting."
"The US president has already given the deal with Mauritius his blessing but it was sent to the White House as Sir Keir Starmer pushed through a vote on ratifying the deal in the House of Commons. Trump gave the deal his blessing (Reuters) A bad-tempered debate over the deal among MPs saw claims that the government's legal case for handing over the islands had collapsed."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and seeks donations to fund journalism while keeping content free of paywalls. Investigative work includes examining Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing a documentary spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Senior UK figures, including Sir Grant Shapps and Iain Duncan Smith, wrote to Donald Trump urging intervention to block the Chagos deal due to serious UK-US defence and security concerns. The deal risks Diego Garcia's operational ability in the Indian Ocean. Debate in Parliament included claims the government's UNCLOS-based legal case had collapsed despite the US president reportedly blessing the deal.
