"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."
"Shabana Mahmood is to get new powers to sack chief constables and other senior police officers in the aftermath of the row over West Midlands Police's move to ban Israeli football fans. Under new measures, police will be made directly accountable to the home secretary and ministers will be handed new powers to send specialist teams into failing forces to help them fight crime more effectively."
"New laws to impose mandatory vetting standards for all forces will also be brought in, following repeated failures to weed out rogue officers, including David Carrick, one of the UK's most prolific sex offenders, who received 37 life sentences, was improperly vetted in 2017. The move is part of a series of reforms set to be unveiled by the home secretary on Monday to overhaul failing police forces and make communities safer."
The Independent covers stories from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and emphasizes on-the-ground reporting. The outlet funds journalism through donations so reporting remains free and accessible rather than behind paywalls. Donations enable reporters to investigate financials, produce documentaries like 'The A Word', and interview multiple perspectives. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will receive powers to sack chief constables and other senior officers after the West Midlands Police row over banning Israeli football fans. New measures will make police directly accountable to the home secretary, allow deployment of specialist teams into failing forces, and introduce mandatory vetting standards following vetting failures such as David Carrick in 2017.
