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.

You may remember Thorn as the Lyndhurst-faced leader of 1980s indie-jazz duo Everything but the Girl, and later guest vocalist on Massive Attack's "Missing".

Thorn's third solo album consists of 10 mid-life dispatches – one track called "Hormones" goes "yours are just kicking in, mine are just checking out..." – full of hard-won worldly wisdom delivered with languor over restrained violins and piano. A perfectly pleasant soundtrack to morning coffees or late-night drifts into sleep.
