"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."
"The UK's medicines regulator has announced the largest single seizure of trafficked weight loss medicines ever recorded globally, following the dismantling of a factory producing thousands of unlicensed jabs. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) confirmed on Friday that it had confiscated 2,000 pens, falsely labelled as containing tirzepatide and retatrutide drugs not approved for weight loss in the UK."
"The MHRA said the factory on an industrial estate on the outskirts of Nottingham was the first of its kind discovered in Britain. During the search, MHRA officers, supported by Northamptonshire Police, seized tens of thousands of empty weight loss pens ready to be filled, raw chemical ingredients and more than 2,000 unlicensed retatrutide and tirzepatide pens awaiting dispatch to customers."
Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, with investigations into political finance and documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes free access to journalism funded by donations rather than paywalls and says donations support reporters who speak to both sides. The UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency carried out the largest recorded global seizure of trafficked weight-loss medicines after dismantling a Nottingham factory. Authorities confiscated more than 2,000 pens falsely labelled as containing tirzepatide and retatrutide, tens of thousands of empty pens, raw chemicals, packaging, and manufacturing equipment, with a finished-product street value over a quarter of a million pounds.
