The Independent emphasizes the need for on-the-ground reporting during vital moments in US history, stating donations allow journalists to cover important stories without paywalls. The article highlights impending welfare cuts as Labour's Spring Statement approaches, particularly focusing on changes to the Personal Independence Payment (PIP). With reforms likely to make it harder to qualify for PIP and possible payment freezes, the article reflects rising spending on health-related benefits and reveals a division among Labour MPs regarding the cuts.
"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."
"Reforms to the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) have now been widely reported, although Labour MPs are understood to be divided on the cost-cutting package."
