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.
Too soon? Yeah, almost definitely. That's never stopped bad taste Halloween costumes before, though.
On page 29 of today's copy of The Times you can find your very own cut-out and keep Jimmy Savile mask. It's the kind of stunt you'd expect from The Sun, but 'the paper of record'?
In fairness, the mask is not from a photograph, but an illustration by Times cartoonist Peter Brooks, and thus could be interpreted as a satire of the idea that a tabloid paper might publish such an item. But it's also a Jimmy Savile Halloween mask.
