Rachel Reeves urged to scrap international student levy over concerns for growth
"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."
"Business leaders have called on Rachel Reeves to scrap a proposed levy on university fees for international students, warning it could have major consequences for growth and global competitiveness. In their open letter shared with The Independent, business groups slammed what they call a university tax and warned that the planned 6 per cent rise on fees will have unintended consequences for the UK. The note piles further pressure on the chancellor ahead of the Budget and comes after ministers brought forward a raft of measures earlier this year designed to tighten up rules around student visas."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and highlights work from investigations to documentaries. Examples include probing the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing the documentary 'The A Word', which focuses on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations enable continued reporting from both sides of stories while maintaining free access without paywalls; the organization says quality journalism should be available to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. Business groups have urged Rachel Reeves to pause a planned 6 per cent rise in international student fees, warning of economic harms, reduced regional regeneration and indirect effects on domestic student funding; the open letter was signed by 15 organisations including UK Music, Business LDN and Tech UK.
