Reeves' actions would suggest she is trying to slow economy down, says ex-bank chief
"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."
"Economist Sir Howard Davies' criticism of the chancellor comes less than two weeks ahead of a crucial budget which many believe could make or break the government. While Keir Starmer and Ms Reeves came into office claiming that economic growth was their number one mission, the economy has stagnated, and new figures published on Thursday show UK economic growth slowed to 0.1 per cent for the past three months."
"Sir Howard blamed the policies she has brought in, including increasing national insurance contributions on employers and new employment rights, for the dire state of Britain's economy."
The Independent highlights reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while urging donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and maintain free access without paywalls. The outlet cites investigations including Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Former NatWest chairman Sir Howard Davies launched a broadside against Chancellor Rachel Reeves, asserting her policies have hindered economic growth. New figures show UK GDP slowed to 0.1 per cent over the past three months. Davies attributes the stagnation to measures such as increased employer national insurance and new employment rights ahead of a crucial budget.
