"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."
"The manifesto said: Labour will not increase taxes on working people, which is why we will not increase national insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of income tax, or VAT. Pressed on whether she broke that manifesto promise, she responded: I do recognise that yesterday, I have asked working people to contribute a bit more by freezing those thresholds for a further three years from 2028. I do recognise that that will mean that working people pay a bit more."
The Independent funds reporting to cover major issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping content free of paywalls. Donations support investigative work and documentaries that require reporters on the ground to verify facts. A manifesto pledge stated that taxes on working people would not be increased, explicitly protecting national insurance, income tax rates, and VAT. The chancellor maintained that tax rates have not changed but announced a freeze of tax thresholds for a further three years from 2028. Freezing thresholds will create fiscal drag, causing more working people to pay higher income tax overall.
