"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."
"I don't think fiddling around with smaller taxes any longer is likely to yield much fruit. Instead, the chancellor has been told by leading think tanks that, if she wants to maintain her spending plans and fiscal rules on borrowing, she will likely have to raise income tax, VAT or employee national insurance breaking one of Labour's key manifesto pledges."
The Independent operates without paywalls and seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. A major fiscal gap of £41.2bn has been estimated, creating pressure on government finances. Analysis indicates that raising smaller taxes such as a mansion tax or a gambling levy would be insufficient to close the shortfall. To preserve planned spending and fiscal borrowing rules, increases to income tax, VAT, or employee national insurance are likely to be required, which would conflict with a manifesto pledge not to raise taxes on working people.
