Britain must get war ready' and can no longer rely on the US, MPs say

"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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."

"Britain must prepare for war and face up to the fact it can no longer rely on the US, MPs and a former senior adviser to Nato have warned. Days after President Trump provoked outrage with his false claim that British troops avoided the frontline in Afghanistan, ministers have been urged to prepare for conflict without American support. Before his later climbdown, Donald Trump also claimed he was unsure European countries would come to America's aid in a time of need."

The Independent sends journalists to cover developing stories across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and investigates issues such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet operates without paywalls and relies on donations to fund reporters on the ground. MPs and a former senior Nato adviser warn that Britain must prepare for war and cannot assume continued US support. President Trump's comments undermined confidence in US commitments. The United States remains the only country to have invoked NATO's Article 5 after 9/11, but a new report warns the US may not be a reliable guarantor against a Russian invasion.
