Labour's warning of crime wave
Your support helps us to tell the story
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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The spectre of increased urban lawlessness will be raised today by shadow Chancellor Gordon Brown, writes Anthony Bevins.
Although the Government was able to take comfort from a fall in unemployment yesterday, it faced a Bank of England challenge on interest rates and the Wirral South by-election campaign was dominated by Unilever's warning on European Monetary Union.
Mr Brown will warn today that, "The re-election of the Tories would risk the creation of a fifth-term underclass that would take us down the road of America, with no-work and no-go inner city areas plagued by lawlessness."
