"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."
"Farmers across the country are celebrating after Sir Keir Starmer caved after months of pressure from farmers and watered down plans to tax inherited farmland.

Journalists report on reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech on the ground. Investigations range from the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC to a documentary highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations fund sending reporters to speak to both sides and maintain reporting without paywalls, keeping journalism available to everyone. Labour announced a change raising the inheritance tax threshold for qualifying agricultural assets from £1m to £2.5m, meaning most farms will not pay. The move allows spouses or civil partners to pass up to £5m between them before inheritance tax and follows talks after prolonged protests.
