The Independent reports on reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating financials like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes on-the-ground reporting, refusing to use paywalls and seeking donations to fund journalists who report from both sides. An employment tribunal found that an easyJet cabin manager, Ross Barr, was not unfairly dismissed following multiple complaints about inappropriate and misogynistic comments. Allegations included comments about staring at a colleague's backside, public announcements addressing female staff as 'lovely ladies', and repeated remarks that made a crew member uncomfortable.

An easyJet cabin manager who received a slew of complaints over alleged inappropriate and misogynistic comments was not unfairly dismissed, an employment tribunal has ruled. Ross Barr, a manager based in Edinburgh, was sacked by the airline following a disciplinary hearing in September last year but claimed he was unfairly dismissed, that the company failed to provide written reasons for the firing and that he was less favourably treated because of his sexual orientation.
