Rachel Reeves faces new 20bn Budget blackhole
"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The BBC reported on Tuesday that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is expected to downgrade the UK's performance on productivity, with fears that it could represent a further 20bn gap in the public finances. This followed revelations by The Independent in September that the chancellor was bracing herself for bad news on productivity which in turns hits economic growth."
On-the-ground journalism covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and relies on donations to fund reporters and investigations. Investigations have examined the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produced a documentary, 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Quality reporting is offered without paywalls, with access paid by those who can afford it. Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces a potentially larger fiscal shortfall as the Office for Budget Responsibility is set to downgrade UK productivity, possibly widening a £20bn gap ahead of the 26 November Budget. Reeves has attributed economic problems to Brexit while fresh data intensifies the Budget challenge.
