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.
First Call
FIVE YEARS AGO, the Happy Mondays, a band well known for their excesses, broke up acrimoniously amid lurid controversy. However, all differences appear to have been put aside as frontman Shaun Ryder and the rest of the group are reunited for a series of dates this summer. It'll be a nostalgic treat for many, as the band were at the forefront of the second summer of love, acid house and the great rock and dance explosion of 1988.

Last Call
BEFORE DAME JUDI DENCH (right) jets off for Broadway, try to see her in one of the last West End performances of Filumena. While the play has had a mixed reception, most reviewers, including The Independent's Paul Taylor, were impressed by Dench's powerful performance. Playing alongside Michael Pennington in Sir Peter Hall's production of de Filippo's Neapolitan drama, she shines as the Italian ex-prostitute trying to secure a father for her children. Catch her if you can.
Piccadilly Theatre, London W1 (0171-369 1734) tonight to 27 Feb
