Inside the battle for Britain's pubs as they brace for the Budget
"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."
"There is only one thing on Fiona Hornsby's mind as she readies her pubs for the busy Christmas period - and it's not the throngs of happy revellers celebrating the festive season in the coming months. Instead she, like many publicans across the country, is nervously looking ahead just a few days to Rachel Reeves' Budget on Wednesday. The chancellor will outline her financial plans next week and Britain's pubs are bracing themselves after a bruising few years where they have endured Covid lockdowns,"
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating financials of political groups and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes fact-parsing, sending reporters to cover developing stories and presenting both sides. The publication forgoes paywalls, funding free access through donations from readers. Donations enable continued on-the-ground journalism. Separately, publicans like Fiona Hornsby are worried ahead of Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Budget as pubs in England and Wales face record-low numbers, with over 400 closures in 2024 and an industry claim that employer National Insurance increases and reduced business rate relief are worsening margins.
