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: My journey to work takes me past the principal BMW dealership in Munich. Behind hectares of glass, the vehicles are poised and ready. On the forecourt, a further selection of Bavaria's best.
On my homeward journey on Tuesday evening I could see the staff preparing for, it now transpires, the Longbridge announcement ("Rover plant rescued by pounds 150m grant", 1 April). All of the forecourt vehicles were being re- arranged.
By Wednesday morning a selection of Rover vehicles were set before the ladies and gentlemen of the press. The BMWs remained inside.
The following morning the forecourt was back to normal - not a Rover in sight.
