Chair of the grooming gangs inquiry announced

"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."

"Former children's commissioner Anne Longfield will chair the inquiry into grooming gangs after months of delays. Sir Keir Starmer announced the inquiry in June this year but the national probe was thrown into disarray when four women resigned from its victim liaison panel. It has taken some months to find a suitable candidate to chair the inquiry amid the ongoing tensions."

The Independent covers issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and sends reporters to developing stories. The outlet investigates matters such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent avoids paywalls and seeks donations to fund on-the-ground journalism, asserting that quality journalism should be available to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. Baroness Anne Longfield has been appointed to chair a delayed national inquiry into grooming gangs and will join a three-person panel including Zoe Billingham and Eleanor Kelly.
