The Independent focuses on issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and financial transparency in politics. Journalistic integrity allows for clear communication about government policies, such as recent changes to welfare benefits. Following significant cuts announced in a spending review, there are concerns about the public finance black hole and limited options for the chancellor on tax raises. The organization remains committed to delivering quality journalism without paywalls, ensuring it is accessible to everyone and trusted by a wide political audience.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
This week's embarrassing climbdown on welfare saw the government's benefits reforms gutted almost entirely, while savings from the bill were slashed from 5bn to nothing.
Ministers have already squeezed significant savings out of their departments in cuts that were unveiled at last month's spending review.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.
