Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are set to tack hard to the left in the budget to buy themselves time and prevent an attempted leadership coup by backbenchers."
The Independent reports on issues from reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech to investigations such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and a documentary titled 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes on‑the‑ground reporting, refusing paywalls and seeking donations to fund journalists who speak to both sides of stories. Politically, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves plan a leftward tilt in the budget, potentially scrapping the two‑child benefit cap and introducing wealth taxes including a mansion tax on properties over £2m, a gambling profits tax, and a bank profits levy. Fuel duty and electric car mileage charges are under speculation.
