Starmer's priority is to protect UK relationship with Trump, Streeting suggests
"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."
"The health secretary said that the prime minister makes sure that he uses his influence and leverage in a way that, first and foremost, works to our national interest then for the collective interest as well of our global security and the rules-based system. He said Sir Keir Starmer who has faced continued criticism for cosying up to the Republican president chooses what to say, how to say it, and when to say it, very carefully when it comes to the UK's relationship with the US."
Coverage highlights a range of issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while emphasizing on-the-ground reporting. Fundraising appeals support sending journalists to report developments and to keep reporting accessible without paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. Health secretary Wes Streeting warned that preserving the UK's relationship with the United States — including with Donald Trump — may take precedence over intervention to protect the global rules-based system. The prime minister is said to use influence to serve national interest first and collective global security second. Sir Keir Starmer faces criticism over perceived closeness to the Republican president and is described as choosing words and timing carefully regarding the UK–US relationship.
