"Britain is facing a deepening hunger crisis with more than 14 million people going without food because they can't afford it, shocking new analysis has revealed. A total of 3.8 million children (27 per cent) are among those estimated to be living in homes where people are forced to skip or cut back on meals because of financial concerns, a report by the food bank network Trussell has found."

The Independent sends journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Funding via donations allows continued on-the-ground reporting and interviews with both sides. The outlet claims trust across the US political spectrum and avoids paywalls, making journalism freely accessible while asking supporters to cover costs. Britain faces a worsening hunger crisis: over 14 million people lack food due to affordability, including 3.8 million children. Trussell's report attributes the crisis to low incomes, inadequate benefits, rising rents, and soaring energy bills. Calls include ending the two-child benefit cap.
