"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.

"The UK's largest supermarket highlighted that household budgets remain under pressure, driving consumers to increasingly seek out value. Tesco noted that a higher rate of employer National Insurance has added approximately 235 million to its annual costs, while new packaging taxes contributed around 90 million.
