"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."
"Many in our community felt Rachel Reeves's 26bn package of tax rises lands hardest on those already feeling squeezed by a cost of living crisis, piling new burdens onto taxpayers who say they are running out of financial headway. With income tax thresholds frozen until 203031 and more than 1.7 million people set to be dragged into higher bands, several readers questioned how a government elected on a promise to protect working people could justify what amounts to a sweeping stealth tax."
The Independent deploys reporters across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, producing investigations and documentaries while avoiding paywalls. The outlet solicits reader donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and maintain access for all. Readers reacted strongly to a Budget perceived to prioritize Labour's political interests, criticizing Rachel Reeves's £26bn package of tax rises for burdening households amid a cost-of-living crisis. Concerns include frozen income tax thresholds that may pull more than 1.7 million people into higher bands, changes to pension contributions, cuts to ISA allowances, and the contentious scrapping of the two-child benefit cap. Growth forecasts have weakened alongside these measures.
