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.
Generally, Britain is a comfortable country in which to live. By and large, people have enough food to eat and water to drink. The air is clean, the water supply constant and pollutant-free. Children will receive an adequate education. Our health service will care for us when we fall sick. Crime levels are low.
It is all relative of course – some parts of the UK are much worse off than others. Likewise too many of our children grow up in difficult circumstances. Nevertheless, compared with many other countries we're well off. We gripe about the gap between rich and poor, but the divide in this country is not so pronounced as elsewhere. Which is why this newspaper is so keen to support Sport Relief. For one day, it is being guest edited by David Walliams, one of the charity's ambassadors. Tomorrow, we return to normal. For now, though, we are assisting a compelling cause. And we're proud to be of service.
