The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while avoiding paywalls. The outlet investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations are presented as enabling reporters to speak to both sides and to make quality journalism available to everyone, paid by those who can afford it. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has tabled a bill to prevent serving mayors from becoming MPs, a change that would affect Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham. Rayner's department says the change would ensure mayors focus on serving their cities, while critics accuse her of targeting leadership rivals and point to Boris Johnson's past dual role as MP and mayor.
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.
Angela Rayner has been accused of a bid to block Sir Sadiq Khan from a return to parliament through new legislation. A bill tabled by the deputy prime minister would prevent the mayor of London from becoming an MP while still in office. The bill would thwart any chance of Sir Sadiq returning to parliament before the next general election, ending the prospect of a bid for the leadership if Sir Keir Starmer steps down.
