"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Keir Starmer's leadership of Labour has been dealt a blow after former cabinet minister Lucy Powell, who has criticised his leadership and policies, was elected as deputy leader. Ms Powell beat Sir Keir's preferred candidate Bridget Phillipson by 87,407 votes to 73,576 in a clear message from Labour members that they want a change of direction. Although the turnout was only 16.6 per cent. The result is a huge comeback for Ms Powell who was sacked as Commons leader by Starmer in last month's reshuffle caused by the departure of Angela Rayner who she has now been elected to replace. Added to that Ms Powell, the MP for Manchester Central, is close to Manchester mayor Andy Burnham who many would like to see replace Sir Keir as leader."
Lucy Powell was elected Labour deputy leader with 87,407 votes, defeating Keir Starmer's preferred candidate Bridget Phillipson who received 73,576 votes. Voter turnout for the contest was 16.6 per cent. Powell stages a political comeback after being sacked as Commons leader by Sir Keir in last month's reshuffle following Angela Rayner's departure; she will replace Rayner as deputy leader. Powell represents Manchester Central and is close to Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, a figure some members view as a potential alternative to Sir Keir. The result intensifies questions about Sir Keir's leadership amid broader political pressure on the prime minister.
