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.

OK, now they've got your attention. In electing Zack Polanski, a media-friendly former actor with an eye-catching vision for a mass movement of eco-populism, the Greens have taken a step into the unknown. And the first task for Polanski is to bring the party with him. Green leadership contests are generally quite polite. This time it has been different, in part due to the personalities but mainly because of the very different visions on offer.

Deep irony that they call this 'practical' implications when it's anything but. A consequence of the awful reporting around the Supreme Court often missing fundamental facts from the ruling. This is just more thinly veiled transphobia. The mask is off.
