"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."
"Sir Keir Starmer's deal to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius has been dealt a humiliating blow in the House of Lords after peers backed demands for a renegotiation. In a vote which left the government reeling, peers backed a demand to renegotiate the terms of the deal in order to ensure payments stop if the military base on Diego Garcia could no longer be used."
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and produces investigative journalism and documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls and solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and balanced interviews. The House of Lords backed an amendment demanding renegotiation of the UK deal to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, requiring payments to stop if the military base on Diego Garcia became unusable. The amendment, led by former military chiefs, passed 132 to 124, marking a fourth upper-house defeat for the government. The UK agreed to pay at least £120 million annually over a 99-year lease, totaling at least £13 billion.
