The Independent emphasizes the need for on-the-ground reporting during critical times in US history, addressing various issues from reproductive rights to climate change. It discusses the importance of funding for journalism free from paywalls, and highlights recent UK political developments regarding disability benefits. Labour backbenchers, including MPs Nadia Whittome and Richard Burgon, advocate against cuts to Personal Independence Payments, urging the government to consider the implications of tightening eligibility for support and the importance of providing for disabled individuals.
"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."
"Labour MP Nadia Whittome cautioned ministers against repeating a 'similar mistake' by tightening eligibility criteria for Personal Independence Payments (PIP)."
