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.

The Time: Back to work

The Place: Your office/study

The Essentials: Last week, millions of us made New Year resolutions to be more organised. Whether you're a student, office worker or self employed, we've made life easy for you by selecting some key items to help tidy up your life. If you're on a budget, don't worry, as stylish shelving and colourful storage items don't have to cost a bomb - in fact you can get them from your local DIY centre.

Save your eyesight and invest in a desk lamp (top), like this white one which costs pounds l5.99

A swivel office chair, essential for preventing backache, costs as little as pounds 24.99

If your idea of filing is watching a mountain of paperwork grow on your desk, then these bright storage boxes (middle), from pounds 8.99 each and blue and black files at pounds 4.99, are a must

Shelving needn't mean pieces of two by four planks. A smart four shelf, 20-inch wide chrome unit costs pounds 79.99

Homeworkers will find this wicker and steel magazine rack (bottom) essential, as it looks good and holds a lot of material. All for just pounds l4.99

All items are from Homebase. For stockist details call 0645 801800
