The Independent supports reporting across major issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, emphasizing separating facts from messaging. Donations enable journalists to speak to multiple sides and maintain coverage without paywalls, aiming to make quality journalism available to everyone. Wes Streeting prepared for a Labour Party leadership bid after resigning from Keir Starmer’s government. He criticized Starmer’s lack of vision and drift, then targeted Tony Blair’s long critique. Streeting argued that Blair’s intervention barely confronts the defining issue of the age, treating inequality as peripheral rather than fundamental, despite extensive discussion of technology, geopolitics, and political strategy.
"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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference."
"Here is the striking weakness at the heart of Tony Blair's intervention: across thousands of words about technology, geopolitics and political strategy, the defining issue of our age is barely confronted at all. Inequality the economic, social and democratic fracture running through modern Britain is treated as peripheral rather than fundamental."
