The Independent is dedicated to reporting on pressing matters such as reproductive rights and climate change, enabling informed public discourse by avoiding paywalls. Currently, the publication covers Angeline, the objection raised by Dame Justine Thornton to a proposed housing development near her home, citing its excessive height and density. This opposition reflects broader tensions as Labour pushes to build 1.5 million new homes. Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to back builders against NIMBY sentiments, stressing housing needs amid political challenges in the UK.

Dame Justine Thornton has objected to the redevelopment, claiming it is too tall, too bulky and too dense for their neighbourhood.
A source close to the High Court judge mentioned she had no objection to the principle of new housing on the site, but was simply referring to a specific design.
Sir Keir Starmer pledged a tough approach towards Labour MPs who oppose new housing in their constituencies, emphasizing support for "builders not blockers."
