UK government poised to overhaul its asylum system as a political storm brews over migration
"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 British government plans to tighten its asylum system in a series of sweeping changes modeled after Denmark that aims to reduce immigration and quell the political storm over migrants making dangerous English Channel crossings to enter the country without authorization. The policy changes to be announced by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on Monday in the House of Commons are yet another an attempt to make the U.K. less attractive to those seeking refuge and easier to remove migrants who don't qualify for asylum."
The Independent reports on a wide range of issues, from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, and funds on-the-ground journalism through donations. The outlet investigates financial and political stories, produces documentaries like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights, and maintains free access by avoiding paywalls so reporting is available to all. The British government plans sweeping asylum changes modeled on Denmark to reduce immigration and deter dangerous Channel crossings. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood characterizes the measures as a moral mission to control borders, ease removals of those who do not qualify, and respond to public pressure.
