PM to defend Budget after Reeves forced to deny lying to public to justify tax hikes
"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. 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."
"Sir Keir Starmer will issue a defiant defence of the Budget after Rachel Reeves was forced to deny having lied about the state of the country's finances in an effort to justify her 26bn worth of tax hikes. In what will be seen as an attempt to prop up his embattled chancellor, the prime minister will on Monday argue that Ms Reeves has provided economic stability by raising billions of pounds more in so-called fiscal headroom to protect against future market shocks."
The Independent covers major issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, producing investigations such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary called 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet does not use paywalls and solicits donations to fund reporters on the ground who can speak to both sides. In UK politics, Sir Keir Starmer will publicly defend Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Budget, arguing it creates fiscal headroom and economic stability while defending increased benefit spending and pledging welfare reforms. Reeves faces accusations of misleading the public by failing to disclose a £4bn surplus rather than a £20bn deficit and may be questioned on potential rule breaches.
