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.

Legionnaire's bug kills woman

ONE WOMAN has died and five other people have been taken ill after an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease in Glastonbury, Somerset. Air conditioning at local business premises is being tested. No details of the casualties have been released, except that they are aged between 32 and 76. A woman and a man have left hospital. Three others - two men and a woman - are still in Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, two in intensive care.
