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.

A double-decker bus has burst into flames outside London's Liverpool Street station.

Footage uploaded to social media shows the back of the bus engulfed in fire.

London Fire Brigade confirmed it was called to the scene around 10am.

A spokeswoman said half of the bus had been destroyed in the blaze.

Firefighters are still at the scene, which has been cordoned off.

Bishopsgate road has been closed between Threadneedle Street and Wormwood Street.
