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.While the votes are still being tallied, all signs are pointing to a home run for the Labour Party, with the story dominating Friday’s front pages.
The exit poll and the majority of British newspapers — the i, The Times, the Independent, the Daily Mail, and the Daily Telegraph, to be exact — all say the same thing: Labour is on course for a “landslide” victory.
The front page of The Guardian reports that Sir Keir Starmer is on course to enter Number 10 if the exit poll findings are to be believed.
The Daily Mirror looks beyond the vote to the seemingly likely Labour government of tomorrow with: “Keir we go.”
The Metro used a pun to report on the result, dubbing the Labour leader “Keir Stormer” as he storms towards the finish line to become Prime Minister.
The Sun uses a simple phrase to sum up voter sentiment and the likely change of government: “Britain sees red.”
The Daily Express describes the “election wipeout” as a “crushing blow” for the Conservatives, as numbers suggest Labour will form government with a majority of 170.
Lastly, the Daily Star has dedicated its front page to recounting its favourite moments from the last 14 years of a Conservative government.
