"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."
"Reform UK's candidate for the upcoming by-election in Gorton and Denton suggested that people who don't have children should be taxed extra as punishment, an unearthed blog post has revealed. In a suggestion that has been compared to dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale' a fictional drama where women are forced to bear children to tackle a fertility crisis Matt Goodwin proposed imposing a negative child benefit tax on those who don't have offspring."
The Independent emphasizes funding on-the-ground journalism through donations to keep reporting free and accessible rather than behind paywalls. The outlet highlights investigations such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Reform UK candidate Matt Goodwin proposed a punitive tax on people without children and suggested removing personal income tax for women with two or more children, arguing the British family is 'imploding.' The proposed negative child benefit tax would affect both men and women but could disproportionately pressure women to become pregnant, drawing strong criticism and dystopian comparisons.
