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.
Salary: Around pounds 35,000 for his new LWT Friday night chat show Richard Littlejohn Live and Uncut, pounds 200,000 for a similar show called Live at Five on Sky, and pounds 68,000 for his twice-weekly column in the Sun.
Age: 40
Perks: The opportunity to broadcast his enlightened views on feminists - 'shaven-headed dykes'; John Major - 'There is apparently no limit to the PM's stupidity'; and the Royal Family - 'a tax-evading bunch of adulterers'. Life is not easy though; recently he is said to have been complaining that he doesn't know what to spend all his money on.
Home: A house in Haringey, north London, where he lives with his wife and two teenage children.
