"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."
"Pensioners are set for a boost from April next year, with the state pension looking set to rise by more than 560 a year. That's because of the rules around the state pension triple lock and how recent economic data sets out the likelihood of a rise. At present, increases to the state pension are decided by either inflation, wage growth or 2.5 per cent whichever is the highest."
Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, funded by donations to keep reporting paywall-free. Donations enable sending journalists to speak to both sides and investigate financials like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produce documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Pensioners face a state pension rise of more than 560 a year from April next year because the triple lock increases pensions by the highest of inflation, wage growth or 2.5 per cent. ONS data shows unemployment at 4.7 per cent and wage growth slowing to 4.7 per cent. September's inflation rate will determine the exact increase.
