The Independent emphasizes the necessity of on-the-ground journalism in critical times, covering essential issues like reproductive rights and climate change. It highlights the need for donations to support unbiased reporting accessible across the political spectrum without paywalls. In political news, Sir Keir Starmer’s first year as Prime Minister has been marked by a decrease in Labour's poll ratings despite initial election successes. His governance has faced challenges, including economic stagnation due to tax rises, but he has committed to significant increases in NHS funding and defense spending.
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.
Sir Keir Starmer is marking his first year in Downing Street after suffering the shortest honeymoon of any prime minister in history, despite winning a massive 411 seats and a working majority of 156.
When Starmer took office he promised growth and benefits for working people, but his national insurance tax rise has left fewer jobs and an economy that is stagnating. He has, though, pledged a 2.8 percent increase to the NHS spending budget over a three-year period.
Starmer has been a success on the international stage, with three trade deals and a pivotal role in the war in Ukraine and crises in the Middle East. He aims to increase defence spending up to 3 percent of GDP in the next parliament.
