"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 pause stems from worries that a government amendment could have been exploited by intelligence agencies, allowing them to bypass the proposed duty of candour. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer pledged to get the balance right on the proposed law, formally the Public Office (Accountability) Bill, at a press conference in Downing Street on Monday morning. In the Commons, justice minister Alex Davies-Jones said there is absolutely no carve-out here, adding the duty of candour will apply to all public authorities, including the intelligence services."
The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating matters like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word'. The outlet avoids paywalls and asks supporters to help finance accessible journalism. Parliamentary proceedings for the Public Office (Accountability) Bill were paused after concerns arose that a government amendment might enable intelligence agencies to circumvent a proposed duty of candour. Ministers affirmed the duty should apply to all public authorities, including intelligence services, while MPs called for continued engagement with campaigners and scrutiny of the bill's wording.
