Government urged to review farming inheritance tax plans after Commons vote
"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."
The Independent emphasizes the importance of on-the-ground journalism across topics like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and requests donations to fund reporter deployment while keeping content freely accessible. Labour MPs urged reconsideration of proposed inheritance tax changes affecting agricultural property relief, arguing most farmers are not wealthy landowners and that the measure does not address wealthy individuals buying farmland to avoid full inheritance tax. Markus Campbell-Savours indicated he would vote against the Chancellor's tax changes to protect his community. Treasury minister James Murray defended the Budget changes as a fair way forward, and MPs voted 327 to 182 in support.
