Playgrounds would become crack dens' if Greens were in power, policing minister says
"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."
"Playgrounds would become "crack dens" under Green Party's drug policy, a minister has warned. Sarah Jones, the policing minister, branded the Greens' position "reckless" during a public spat with Zack Polanski. The two figures traded blows in the run-up to a by-election scheduled for next week in Greater Manchester. Mr Polanski has championed a "public health approach" to drug-taking, arguing that "the war on drugs is failing". He urged Labour figures not to "make this a cheap, stupid game where people continue to die"."
The Independent deploys reporters across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating finances and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls and requests donations to continue sending journalists to cover both sides of stories. In UK politics, policing minister Sarah Jones warned that Green Party drug proposals would turn playgrounds into "crack dens" and labelled the stance "reckless" amid a spat with Zack Polanski. Polanski advocates a public-health approach, decriminalisation, and a regulated market intended to reduce harm and prevent children's access to drugs.
