Top Burnham ally launches scathing attack against Starmer on eve of Labour conference
"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."
"One of Andy Burnham's closest allies has launched a damning attack on Sir Keir Starmer on the eve of Labour's conference, accusing the prime minister of overseeing rot in the Labour Party. Former donor Sacha Lord said it is the first of the party's annual gatherings he will miss since joining in 2022, accusing Sir Keir of having abandoned Labour's values. He lashed out at poor decisions being made from the top and warned hundreds of Labour councillors stand to lose their jobs in May as a result."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, funded by donations rather than paywalls so reporting remains accessible. The outlet highlights investigative work including scrutiny of political financing and documentary production that amplifies voices fighting for reproductive rights. Sacha Lord, a former donor and ally of Andy Burnham, publicly attacks Sir Keir Starmer, saying he has overseen rot in the Labour Party and will miss the conference. Lord accuses Starmer of abandoning Labour values, criticizes top-down decisions, and warns that hundreds of Labour councillors could lose their jobs in May.
