"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The highest August borrowing for five years outstripped predictions at 18bn, 3.5bn more than in August 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Soaring interest on government debt also wiped out any boost from Ms Reeves' controversial National Insurance tax raid unveiled at last year's Budget, according to the ONS. Martin Beck, chief economist at research and policy firm WPI Strategy, said: "The 10 billion buffer the chancellor pencilled in against her key fiscal rule in March has almost certainly gone.""
The Independent deploys journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet provides free reporting without paywalls and seeks donations to fund on-the-ground journalism. Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces a setback after ONS data showed August borrowing at £18bn, £3.5bn higher than August 2024 and highest in five years. Rising interest on government debt wiped out gains from last year's National Insurance increase. Martin Beck of WPI Strategy said the £10 billion fiscal buffer pencilled in has almost certainly gone, making November tax rises appear inevitable.
