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 last big summer festival of the year came to an end at Bestival last night, with ‘Rocket Man’ Sir Elton John bringing festivities to a close.

More than 60,000 music fans headed to the Isle of Wight for the event, which was celebrating its 10th anniversary, and with only occasional showers most of them avoided the traditional festival mud. The event, run by the Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank and his wife Josie, has become famous for its fancy dress parade and colourful set designs.
