"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."
"By tracking the price of over 25,000 products across major supermarkets, the consumer group found that chocolate had the highest inflation year-on-year, at 14.2 per cent. Chocolate manufacturers have said poor crop yields on cocoa farms due to climate change is part of the reason for rising prices, whilst many have noticed that products are getting smaller or changing ingredients."
"New research by Which? has found that chocolate goods have seen the biggest price rises from last year, while the cost of many Christmas dinner essentials has also risen sharply. Which? found that, at Morrisons, a pack of Lindt Milk Chocolate Teddy Christmas Tree Decorations rose from 3.50 in 2024 to 6 in 2025 an increase of 71.4 per cent."
