"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."
"The Chancellor is expected to unveil a raft of tax hikes as she tries to plug an estimated 30billion black hole in public finances. Before the 2024 election, Labour promised not to increase income tax, National Insurance or VAT for "working people". In her speech, Reeves is expected to bring in the first rail fares freeze for 30 years, slash green levies on energy bills and get rid of the controversial two-child benefit cap."
The Independent solicits donations to fund journalists and keep reporting free of paywalls, covering issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. Investigations include Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Rachel Reeves will deliver a Budget speech expected to contain tax hikes to plug an estimated £30 billion shortfall. Measures expected include a first rail fares freeze in 30 years, cuts to green levies on energy bills, removal of the two-child benefit cap, a reduction of the cash ISA allowance to £12,000, a mansion tax on properties over £2 million, caps on salary-sacrifice pension contributions, a sugar levy hitting milkshakes, a tourist overnight-stay levy, and a 4.1% pay rise for low-paid workers from April.
