Prime Minister Starmer doesn't shy away from high cost of living in Christmas message
"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."
"Sir Keir Starmer has highlighted the persistent struggle with the cost of living across Britain, noting that "hardship can feel even more acute" during the festive season, in his Christmas message. The Prime Minister, meanwhile, urged the public to "reach out" to friends, family, and neighbours, stressing that "we should each do our bit". These messages arrive at the close of a challenging year for the government, which has seen little progress in its economic growth agenda."
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while funding journalism without paywalls and requesting donations to support on-the-ground reporting. Sir Keir Starmer highlighted persistent cost-of-living struggles, warning that hardship can feel more acute during the festive season and urging people to reach out to friends, family and neighbours. He thanked those working through the holidays and called on everyone to do their bit. The government has shown little progress on its economic growth agenda, the Bank of England projects stagnation in the final quarter of 2025, and consumer confidence remained subdued ahead of Christmas.
