Pressure on Farage to sack racist' Reform candidate after new attack on Lammy
"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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."
"Mr Farage has stood by Chris Parry, 72, after he suggested that deputy prime minister Mr Lammy, who was born and brought up in London, should go home to the Caribbean where his loyalties lie. Despite being widely condemned, Mr Parry has now doubled down on his original comment with a post on X (Twitter) defending his original comment, saying: Well, home is where the heart is. That's the point."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and seeks donations to fund journalists and documentaries like 'The A Word'. The outlet says it serves readers across the political spectrum and refuses to use paywalls, arguing quality journalism should be available to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. Nigel Farage backed Reform UK candidate Chris Parry after Parry suggested Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy should 'go home to the Caribbean' and questioned his loyalties. Parry doubled down on his remarks on X and also attacked Sir Lenny Henry while describing Birmingham as a 'failed colony'.
