Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

The London Festival of Architecture – which began on the 20 June – will climax in a competition in which 10 of the world’s most famous buildings will be recreated in jelly.

Over 100 designers and architects have submitted entries to the competition – including architectural big hitters Sir Norman Foster, Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, Wil Alsop and Lord Richard Rogers. The competition will raise money for the London Festival of Architecture’s disaster and development charity, Article 25.

Entries will be showcased at the ‘Architectural Jelly Banquet’ - a unique event held at the University College London on Friday evening – where revellers will come dressed as desserts, watch jelly wrestling and listen to “bespoke wobbling soundscapes and projections” late into the night.
