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.

It's once more into Wonderland with Tim Burton's attempt to give the children's classic a makeover for the 3D age.

The late Lewis Carroll may be spinning in his burrow over the creative licence in Alice's latest adventure, but you can't fault it for pace or casting; with star power provided by Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Johnny Depp as the not too-Mad Hatter, the film doesn't overly rely on its talented protagonist, depicted by Mia Wasikowska. It's silly, indulgent fun – and while few will yet be able to enjoy the full 3D experience at home, it's still a visual treat of the highest order.
