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.

From Mr T Wynn

Sir: Payments in the French Rugby Union must put Bill Hogg, the Scottish Rugby Union's chief executive, in something of a dilemma, since it is the same chief executive who threatened Scottish students with being "professionalised'' for playing amateur rugby league.

The case must also be a embarrassment for the RFU because of the way they treated the Cambridge student, Adrian Spencer, who is still banned from playing the game because he, too, played rugby league as an amateur.

Yours faithfully,

TERRY WYNN MEP

St Helens, Merseyside
