"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."
"Nigel Farage has secured his first Labour defector as a borough councillor became the first to abandon Sir Keir Starmer's party for Reform UK. In a significant shift, Mason Humberstone became the first Labour politician to jump ship to the insurgent right-wing party. His defection follows a series of Labour councillors joining the Green Party or switching to a pro-Gaza independent ticket. And it follows a slew of former and current Tory MPs and councillors joining Mr Farage's ranks."
"Labour has so far brushed off its own left-wing defections as well as mocking Reform for accepting so many of what its MPs consider to be failed former Tories. But the first defection of an elected Labour representative to the party will spark fears that there are more to come. Mr Humberstone was elected to represent Old Town ward in Stevenage in May 2023, and is now the only Reform member sitting on the Labour-run authority."
The Independent deploys journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and seeks donations to continue on-the-ground reporting. The Independent investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Nigel Farage secured his first Labour defector when Mason Humberstone left Labour to join Reform UK. Humberstone was elected for Old Town ward in Stevenage in May 2023 and is now the only Reform member on the Labour-run authority. The defection follows other councillors joining the Green Party or pro-Gaza independents and may increase concerns at Labour HQ.
