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.

Liam Gallagher says he “shouldn’t have brought” his brother’s daughter into his ongoing feud with his sibling.

In a new interview, the singer responded to claims made by Noel in July this year, in which he said Liam had allegedly sent a “threatening” message to his daughter Anaïs.

Noel made the claim on Twitter, where he posted a screenshot of a text conversation with a person identified as “Uncle Liam”, in which the last text read: “Tell your step mam to be very careful.”

In an accompanying message, Noel wrote in part: “So you’re sending threatening messages via my teenage daughter, are you now? You were always good at intimidating women though, eh?”

Liam offered his version of events in an interview with Mr Porter, telling the publication: “He said I threatened his wife. I didn’t threaten his wife. If you threaten someone you have to say, ‘If you do this, this is gonna happen.’”

He then added about Noel’s 19-year-old daughter: “I probably shouldn’t have brought Anaïs into it, and I apologise.

“[Noel’s wife] called me fat, which hurt my feelings. I have a belly, it’s well paid for, but I’m not fat.

“Then [Noel] hung himself by slagging off Scotland. Good luck gigging in Scotland by the way, our kid.”
