"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."
"The number of new homes in England has fallen to its lowest level for nearly a decade, in a blow to Labour's hopes of meeting one of its key manifesto pledges. Keir Starmer has promised to build 1.5million new homes in five years, an average of 300,000 homes per year, but official figures show just 208,600 were created in England in 2024/25, down 6 per cent from 221,409 the previous year."
Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, producing investigations such as reporting on Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations fund on-the-ground reporting and enable reporting to remain paywall-free, with funding sought from those who can afford it to keep journalism accessible. Official figures show 208,600 new homes were created in England in 2024/25, down 6% from 221,409 the previous year and the lowest level since 2015/16. Labour has pledged 1.5 million homes in five years but must accelerate building. Housing secretary Steve Reed blamed an inherited planning system and high inflation, while the Conservatives argued that Labour lacks a delivery plan.
