"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 Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Sir Keir declined to answer a number of questions from opposition leader Kemi Badenoch on the issue of threshold freezes. His refusal to answer came after chancellor Rachel Reeves had been expected to breach Labour's manifesto promises and increase income tax as part of her plans to plug the gap in the public finances."

Frozen thresholds and a frozen personal allowance can produce fiscal drag, pulling more people into higher tax brackets as earnings rise.
