BBC
âSurging US stock markets sound alarm for âoverheating economy'â reads the main headline on the Financial Times. It quotes one of the worldâs biggest bond fund managers, Dan Ivascyn at Pimco, as saying âUS equity markets could suffer a reversal after hitting record highs since Trump was elected presidentâ. The paper offers full coverage of what it says could be other election result ramifications under the headline âTrump unleashedâ. In other news, the paper reports attacks on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam âspark diplomatic incidentâ.
âUK mortgage rates set to stay higher in 2025 thanks to Reeves and Trumpâ is the headline on the I paper, referring to both the UK chancellor and the incoming US president. It quotes a â4% prediction for end of next year instead of steeper dropâ. The paper also carries a picture of King Charles III in full royal regalia captioned âBritainâs secret weapon with Trump 2.0â. Elsewhere, an I exclusive reports that police are investigating a We R Blighty cash collection for veterans. The company âdenies all claims of wrongdoingâ.
UK PM Sir Keir Starmer plans to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP when Trump takes office, the Daily Telegraph reports. It is expected to reach 2.3% in the current year. The move would be seen as an âolive branchâ to the new president-elect, the paper says. âLabour paves way for the four-day weekâ after âimposing a ÂŁ25 billion tax rise on businessâ the paper declares in its main headline. It cites plans for âshorter working hours for the same pay by South Cambridgeshire councilâ as an example and an offer from Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, to Tube drivers in response to a new strike threat. Dominating the front page pictorially is a photo of Sir Ben Ainslie and his wife Georgie after the Olympic sailor announced they had had a surrogate child having struggled 10 years to conceive.
âIran plot to kill Trumpâ is the headline in the Times, which says a man linked to Iranâs Revolutionary Guard is among three people charged in the US. Two of Trumpâs family members feature in the paperâs main image: his wife Melania and their son Barron, 18, who it says âhelped dad back to big timeâ by taking his message to young men as his podcast adviser. In the paperâs Weekend section there is something for older men too, under the headline âI did the Gladiator workout at 60â, while the Magazine promises to tell us the âreal reasonsâ people do not get a âgood nightâs sleepâ.
âUkraine fears relations with UK have âworsened'â is the headline on the Guardian which quotes a âsenior figure in [Ukrainian President] Volodymyr Zelenskyyâs administrationâ as saying any trip to Kyiv by Sir Keir would be âworthlessâ without a commitment to replenish Storm Shadow missile stocks. âThereâs no point in his coming as a tourist,â the unnamed source says. Turning to the Middle East, the paper quotes the UN as saying 70% of people killed in Gaza are women and children.
A Daily Express undercover team has uncovered plans for pro-Palestinian activists to ââswarmâ Armistice Day services and bring chaos to UK citiesâ, the paper says. It has alerted Scotland Yard to the plans for Youth Demandâs co-ordinated âprotests dishonouring our war deadâ. In a response to the report on X, Youth Demand said it had a âpublicly announced plan to take action next week by coming to a public eventâ. The paper also runs a photo of the Princess of Wales wearing a poppy with the headline âBut Kate WILL mark Remembrance weekend with her usual dignityâ.
âBritainâs first fat jab deathâ is the headline on the Daily Mail. âNHS nurse who bought âKing Kongâ of slimming drugs from online pharmacy dies after taking just two doses.â Susan McGowan, 58, took two low-dose injections of tirzepatide, known under the brand name Mounjaro, over the course of about two weeks before her death on 4 September. It is thought to be the first death officially linked to the drug in the UK. In other news, Prince Andrew âfinds the moneyâ to stay on in Royal Lodge, according to the Mail. The prince has a lease with the Crown Estate to stay in the Windsor house until 2078 but it has been suggested he has to be self-financing if he wants to fulfil the requirements to keep up the maintenance of the 19th Century listed building.
A man described as a friend of Liam Payne has denied deserting the singer before he died at a Buenos Aires hotel last month, the Daily Mirror reports. âI did not abandon Liam,â says the headline. It continues: âHeartbroken pal says he left singer chatting and joking in hotel lobby.â
The world has been Tangoed, says the Daily Star, referring to the president-elect. It goes on in various ways to refer to Donald Trumpâs long-known penchant for fake tan.
