Alarmism': Readers say ID cards work well abroad as Starmer's plan sparks division
"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.Your support makes all the difference."
Independent emphasizes the need for funded, on-the-ground journalism to cover topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, and to produce documentaries that spotlight activists. The outlet operates without paywalls to keep reporting accessible and relies on donations to maintain reporting capacity and impartial coverage across the political spectrum. Plans to introduce a digital ID scheme in Britain have divided opinion, with many citing European examples like Spain, Estonia and Sweden as functional models. Supporters stress convenience and existing data-sharing norms, while sceptics warn of risks to privacy, the elderly, hacking, and potential exclusion.
