Nigel Farage sad' as Clacton area remains most deprived neighbourhood

"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."

"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."

"Nigel Farage has expressed his sadness after a community in his constituency was once again named England's most deprived neighbourhood, describing parts of it as very depressed. The latest official data confirms that an area of the coastal village of Jaywick, near Clacton-on-Sea in the Tendring local authority of Essex, has been classed the most deprived for the fourth consecutive time."

The Independent covers a wide range of topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, producing investigations and documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The organisation emphasizes parsing facts from messaging, keeping reporters on the ground, and relying on donations to send journalists to speak to both sides. The Independent avoids paywalls and aims to make quality journalism available to everyone, funded by those who can afford it. Official 2025 MHCLG data names Jaywick, near Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, as England's most deprived neighbourhood for the fourth consecutive time. Areas of Blackpool make up most of the remaining top 10, with new appearances from Hastings and Rotherham. The specified Jaywick area includes the Brooklands estate and the Jaywick Sands promenade. Nigel Farage was elected MP for Clacton in July 2024.
