Your support helps us to tell the story
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.As one of the most high-profile left-wing figures in Fleet Street, the Daily Mirror’s Kevin Maguire has been all over the news channels of late, following the deaths of Bob Crow and then Tony Benn.
When he’s reviewing the papers on Sky News, Maguire usually arrives as a left-right double act with Andrew Pierce of the Daily Mail. But it’s Pierce alone who has been hired by the new national talk radio network LBC for its Saturday breakfast show starting this week.
Which is a shame, because LBC has gone with a co-presenter format for its Sunday morning show, combining the talents of Sky News’s Kay Burley and Stig Abell, the former director of the Press Complaints Commission and now managing editor of The Sun. That seems a coup for what used to be known as the Murdoch empire.
As for Maguire, he may have decided his working week is long enough already. Bob and Tony would surely have respected that.
