Over 4 million working households now struggling to afford a decent life'

"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."

"More than four million working households across the UK are not earning enough to afford a decent life, according to new research. The data, which covers the year before Labour's election victory, lays bare the scale of the challenge facing the Government, the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University said. It comes after prime minister Sir Keir Starmer said last month helping British people with the cost of living is my top priority."

The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and deploys journalists to cover developing stories. The organisation investigates issues such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet does not use paywalls and seeks donations to fund reporters and on-the-ground coverage. New research finds more than four million working households in the UK could not afford a decent life in 2023/24. The Centre for Research in Social Policy, funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, reported 4.2 million households fell below the minimum income standard.
