Jubilee: The MPs with a loco idea for the Queen's Tube line
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.It's not just the media getting into a frenzy over this weekend's jubilee. Our representatives in Parliament seem pretty excited too. Six Labour MPs have tabled an Early Day Motion, proposing that London Underground's Jubilee line be renamed the "Elizabeth Jubilee Line" to commemorate HRH's "exceptional 60 years".
Other than the MPs' obvious loyalty to the crown, one wonders if there is another reason for the motion. Angling for future honours, perhaps? Or maybe they are just after a place on one of the royal barges? Either way, guys, no one likes a crawler.
