Gordon Brown to issue warning on shameful epidemic' of child poverty in Britain
"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."
"Gordon Brown is set to issue a stark warning that child poverty represents both the UK's most significant social division and its greatest long-term economic threat. The former Labour leader is also expected to intensify calls for Chancellor Rachel Reeves to increase taxes on gambling companies to find the lifting of the two-child benefit cap. Mr Brown, who has repeatedly spoken out on the issue of child poverty, will brand the issue a shameful epidemic."
The Independent emphasizes the need for on-the-ground journalism across topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and seeks donations to sustain that reporting. The outlet stresses a commitment to free access by avoiding paywalls and relying on supporters who can afford to contribute. Gordon Brown will warn that child poverty is the UK's largest social division and a major long-term economic threat. He will call for Chancellor Rachel Reeves to increase taxes on gambling companies to fund lifting the two-child benefit cap. Official figures estimate 4.45 million children in relative low income, the highest since 2002/03.
