Depends on how you define 'independent'.

Hard to judge based on the linked article, which gives zero context.

It quotes the Sun. Reason enough to dismiss it.

Indeed.... when any article includes 'according to tj
The Sun newspaper...'

The government governs us, it isn't interference, it's their role.
Whether it is a good thing is completely different.
