"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."
"Reform UK has been labeled racist for arguing that the two-child benefit cap should only be lifted for families where both parents are British and in full-time work. Sian Berry, the Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, told MPs she wanted to utterly reject the racist agenda of the Reform members' objections. Labour MP for Peterborough Andrew Pakes called the policy naked racism and an affront to British values. Meanwhile, Conservative former minister Kit Malthouse said Reform is calling for open discrimination and said the policy would affect his own children, and the children of sitting Reform MPs. He said: There is something grotesque about seeking legislation which seeks to downgrade the citizenship of your own children. Reform MP Lee Anderson added that 'British people should be put first' (Lucy North/PA Wire) However, a Reform spokesperson said that the policy has nothing to do with race and that MPs are wilfully misrepresenting the policy. Reform MP Sarah Pochin backed her party's policy, arguing that removing the two-child benefit cap entirely rewards those who play the system."
