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.

A further 28% are considering making such changes in the short-term future.
About half (52%) currently or will go out less often to save money, with 54% currently or planning to eat out less often.
