Keir Starmer hits out at Reform over past vaccine claims as measles cases surge
"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."
"Keir Starmer has hit out at Reform UK, saying the public expects political leaders to back science to protect our children, not to give oxygen to conspiracy theories as measles cases surge. An outbreak of the virus in parts of London has left some children needing hospital treatment and is at risk of spreading further due to low vaccination rates, scientists have warned."
Independent journalists cover issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech while remaining accessible without paywalls and relying on donations to fund reporting. The outlet investigates financial links, produces documentaries like 'The A Word', and emphasizes parsing facts from messaging. Keir Starmer criticized Reform UK for amplifying conspiracy theories during a surge in measles cases. Scientists warned that low vaccination rates have left some children needing hospital treatment and risk further spread. The criticism followed controversial remarks by Dr Aseem Malhotra, who used a main-stage speech to falsely suggest Covid vaccines were linked to cancers affecting the King and the Princess of Wales.
