"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."
"Mr Ratcliffe said that immigration is costing too much money due to the number of people on benefits in an interview with Sky News on Wednesday. You can't have an economy with nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in, he said. I mean, the UK is being colonised. It's costing too much money. The UK has been colonised by immigrants."
The Independent sends journalists on the ground to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and seeks donations to fund reporting. The newsroom avoids paywalls and asks supporters to pay so reporting stays freely available to all. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, billionaire co-owner of Manchester United and founder of Ineos, sparked outrage by saying Britain is being 'colonised' by immigrants and claiming immigration is costing too much because of people on benefits. Sir Keir Starmer demanded an apology, calling the comments offensive and asserting Britain's tolerance and diversity. Ratcliffe also shared disputed UK population statistics.
