"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."
"Lord Peter Mandelson has resigned from his membership of the Labour Party as he does not wish to cause further embarrassment over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. The announcement comes at the end of a weekend of growing pressure over his relationship with the convicted sex offender, following the release of than three million documents by the US Department of Justice on Friday. Exchanges between the peer and Epstein featured in some of the so-called Epstein files."
"Bank statements included in the files appeared to show that the peer received some US$75,000 from Epstein over a period between 2003 and 2004, when he was a Labour MP. Lord Mandelson said he did not recall ever receiving the payments and questioned their authenticity. In a letter written on Sunday evening to Hollie Ridley, general secretary of the Labour Party, Lord Mandelon said he was stepping down from his party membership."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and requests donations to fund journalists while keeping reporting free of paywalls. The outlet highlights investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Lord Peter Mandelson resigned his Labour Party membership to avoid further embarrassment over links to Jeffrey Epstein. The US Department of Justice released more than three million documents that included exchanges and bank statements suggesting Mandelson received about US$75,000 between 2003 and 2004. Mandelson said he did not recall receiving the payments, questioned their authenticity, and wrote to party general secretary Hollie Ridley to resign, expressing regret.
