Brexit had bigger impact on Britain's economy than critics predicted, Reeves says

"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."

"Brexit had an even bigger impact on Britain's economy than critics predicted, Rachel Reeves has said, as ministers become increasingly bold in blaming the dire state of the nation's finances on the decision to leave the European Union. Speaking at the government's regional investment summit in Birmingham, the chancellor said Brexit needlessly added costs to UK businesses, saying ministers are now unashamedly rebuilding our relations with the European Union."

The Independent provides on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and investigates topics including the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The organization offers free access to reporting without paywalls and relies on donations to fund journalists who gather perspectives from both sides of stories. Brexit created larger economic costs for UK businesses than predicted, and ministers increasingly blame the decision to leave the EU for the nation's strained finances. The government is pursuing deregulation, planning reform, and increased regional capital spending while seeking to rebuild relations with the EU ahead of the Budget.
