The poll - which interviewed 4,027 people aged 16+ between 21 and 27 August 2025 - revealed there is no longer a majority of British citizens who feel 'pride' in their country, there are rising tension between those who are immigrants and British born, more people are feeling nostalgia for the past, many believe the country is changing too quickly and culture war issues are seen as a key dividing issue.

In a statement sent to complainants on Tuesday 1 July, the BBC said: "During a sequence about heatwaves, Martine Croxall was reading a script that directly quoted a report from The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. As the language wasn't clearly attributed, she used her editorial judgement to make a live ajustment. We're happy that this was duly accurate and impartial in line with the BBC's Editorial guidelines".

As a woman, I would like to remind anyone that is in the community I have built that I believe that trans women are women full stop and you cannot change my mind. The protection of trans people and the LGBTQ+ community is a duty I'd encourage everyone in my community to continue to fight for, we must protect the dolls. It's been an honour being able to see the variety of facially challenged and intellectually stunted come together below this post to bash a

Trump is suing America. The country he's the leader of. I am not making this up,

Offline, there has been a surge of reported hate crimes and book bans, alongside a wave of government and legislative actions targeting LGBTQ+ rights (with a focus on trans people). Online, LGBTQ+ individuals face coordinated harassment campaigns, a rollback of digital protections, and systematic erasure from AI training data and moderation.

➡️ Another Republican got busted for sending racist and Nazi-liking texts to colleagues - this time Trump's nominee for the Office of Special Counsel. Meanwhile, a bar in Alabama had its liquor license denied after advertising a drag show, and LGBTQ+ college students in Texas are reporting more harassment and mistreatment under Gov. Greg Abbott's policies. Independent journalist Erin Reed reports on a federal judge ruling in favor of public schools refusing to comply with Trump's trans ban; and we spoke to transgender entertainer Ts Madison who says that the Trump administration should "pack it up."

I wasn't gonna do a US tour until the very last minute,

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.

It's going to take them a long time on the National Health Service to get rid of it but that's another problem. I think we'll leave it on a woman can have a penis.

"Miss Major is at home on hospice," Beck Witt Major said in a Facebook post Saturday. "She is comfortable and surrounded by love."

Grande shared a post Sunday from liberal activist Matt Bernstein that included a paragraph that said, It's been 250 days. Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all has your life gotten better? Entertainment Weekly received a statement from the White House on the Wicked star's political statement online.

As repressive forces escalate, attempting to quash our ability to speak freely, it's as crucial as ever to listen to the voices of incarcerated people who experience extreme repression every day, yet continue to speak out. As Renaldo Hudson recently wrote in Stateville Speaks: "We cannot let the experiences of our incarcerated brothers, sisters, and siblings be dismissed. They are the frontline witnesses to a system that has normalized control over care. Their stories matter."

The "Let Kids Be Kids" rally, organized by the Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA), called for an end to gender-affirming care for minors, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and genital surgery some of which isn't currently available for people under 18 in Canada. "We believe we need to let kids be, to grow and develop naturally without medical gender transitions," said Daniel Zekveld, a policy analyst with ARPA.

The scheme, which will require all working adults to obtain a digital "Brit card," is reportedly part of No. 10's plans to tackle illegal migration, according to The Guardian. Starmer said the IDs would play an "important part" in what he described as "patriotic renewal" by making it more difficult for migrants to access work in the UK. He will reportedly outline measures, which will likely include legislation, during a conference on Friday (26 September).

Rowling wrote the Harry Potter book series that catapulted Emma to global fame when she was cast as one of the leading roles in the movie adaptations at age 10. In recent years, Rowling has become somewhat of a divisive public figure, particularly due to her commitment to speaking on and funding anti-trans causes in the UK, including her support of a case that made it to the Supreme Court and successfully argued that trans women should not be legally considered women.
