Sending licence fee money to Mar-a-Lago not smart', shadow minister 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."
"Sending BBC licence fee money over to Mar-a-Lago would not be a smart thing to do, the shadow home secretary has said after Donald Trump threatened to sue the corporation for up to $5bn. Chris Philp said he believed the president is the wronged party in his battle with BBC, but that he did not think that using licence fee money to settle the matter would be a good idea."
"Mr Trump told reporters on Air Force One over the weekend that he would sue the corporation for anywhere between $1bn and $5bn probably sometime next week. His comments followed an apology from the BBC on Thursday in which it said the Panorama edit of Mr Trump's Capitol speech on 6 January 2021 had given the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action. The broadcaster apologised and said the splicing of the speech was an error of judgment."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and sends reporters to developing stories. The organisation investigates the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produced the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent emphasizes parsing facts from messaging and keeps reporting free of paywalls, requesting donations to continue field reporting. In UK politics, the shadow home secretary warned against using BBC licence fee money to settle a threatened $1bn–$5bn lawsuit by Donald Trump. The BBC apologised for a Panorama edit of Trump's 6 January 2021 speech and declined to pay compensation.
