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.

Like a small computer

In a case for specs

It's a traffic signal

For directing sex

Buy it in your chemist's

Pop it in your bag

Stick it in the bathroom

Green means shag.

Free of nasty hormones

Hardly ever fails

Catholic approval

Guarantees the sales

Goodbye, padlocked boudoir

Icy showers and chess

Monsignor Del Monte

He says "Yes".

Nearly safe as condoms

When the light is on

And of course this gismo

Will not choke a swan

Batteries included

Fifty quid a shot

Are they on prescription?

No, they're not.
