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 winter festival as a pan-global experience of softness, pinkness and fluffy sentiment, with strings, tinkly bells and jazzy guitars everywhere to be wondered at like movie snow.

The stars of what is very much a show are China Forbes and the Japanese diva Saori Yuki. They tackle "White Christmas" in both languages, but we are also addressed in Chinese, Hebrew, German and Arabic. "Santa Baby" comes with ba-ba-booms included. Pluff! A powder-puff collision of cuteness and earnestness.
