The Independent emphasizes the importance of ground-level reporting on critical issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. It highlights the role of donations in empowering journalists to deliver unbiased coverage. Amidst pivotal political moments, such as Sir Keir Starmer's upcoming meeting with Donald Trump, insights from political biographer Sir Anthony Seldon stress the necessity for Starmer to exhibit strength and pledge increased defense spending. The narrative suggests that showing strength is vital in international dynamics involving the US and Russia.
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.
Sir Keir must pledge to go even further than he has already in ordering a major increase in Britain's defence spending as demanded by president Trump.
Sir Anthony said Sir Keir's visit could be his finest hour, a reference to Winston Churchill's famous speech in 1940 when he rallied the nation to defy Hitler.
Trump understands strength. He despises supplicants and weakness. The United States and Russia have been feeding off these dynamics.
