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.

Sir: I personally was never able to understand the canonisation of Diana. In the case of Jill Dando, however, Deborah Orr has got it wrong in quite spectacular fashion.

The public has reacted the way it has because of the universal reaction of family, friends and colleagues. Without exception they have said that Jill Dando's private persona was exactly what she projected to the public. Therefore the public did know her.
