Most areas will have another rather cloudy day with some hill fog and the odd patch of drizzle. Some sunshine across northern Scotland and locally elsewhere in the north and west, where also breezy. Mild where the sun breaks through.

Images of a happy and celebrating Donald Trump feature on every front page after his shock re-election. The former president has won the 2024 US election by a landslide. The GOP has taken back the Senate, looks on course to take the House of Representatives and the president-elect looks like he’s won the popular vote as well.
As Donald Trump prepares to appoint his cabinet ahead of his return to the White House in January, the UK papers react along clear lines: the right-leaning press celebrate his return whilst the left-leaning media looks at the results with disappointment and anxiety for the future.
The Guardian dedicates its entire front page to the election along with the headline “American dread.” The paper says people in the US have woken up to a transformed country and a rattled world.
The FT says Trump’s comeback is expected to pitch American democracy, US alliances and global markets into an “era of upheaval.”
The i newspaper says the former president won the race by a “landslide” and says the mandate he won on is for a radical right-wing agenda to reshape America.
The Daily Mirror asks “What have they done … again?” The paper reports on fears that Trump will be even more divisive and brutal than he was during his first four years in office. The paper says America’s allies must prepare for a new world order under Trump – a man who favours dictators and strongmen.
The Sun says he has been rehired after he was “shot, sued, tried, insulted and written off.” The paper says it is not bewildered by the second coming of President Trump because most Americans love capitalism, freedom and aspiration and detest socialism, meddling regulations and wokery.
The Daily Mail calls the win a “comeback to Trump all comeback.” The paper goes on to say liberals in the US and Britain have been “left bewildered and tearful” and the result is a nightmare for “Starmer and his Donald-loathing Cabinet.”
In its editorial, Sarah Vine says Harris lost because of “poor judgement” – in believing she was winning over women voters. Vine argues that Harris should not have assumed women were more interested in abortion rights than the economy and illegal immigration.
The Times highlights Trump’s promise of a “golden age” for America. The front page features two sub-headlines – with opposing opinions. One says “Face it, liberals, this is what millions wanted” and “Stand by for West’s betrayal of Ukraine”.
The paper’s editorial says the global economy will suffer if Trump carries out his threat to impose a 60% tariff on imports from China and 20% from the rest of the world. The paper also shares its fears for Ukraine now Trump has been elected to power.
The Daily Telegraph says “Senate, popular vote and every swing state in unprecedented political comeback.” The paper has an opinion piece by Farage who seeks to explain Trump’s appeal among voters and predicts pressure on the UK PM.
The Daily Express reports on the “over-the-top attacks” on Donald Trump and how the relations between the UK and US might shape up under Trump.

Goldman Sachs has cut its growth forecasts for the UK and the eurozone following Donald Trump’s election as President of the United States.
Official data on Thursday showed China's exports soared in October and its trade surplus ballooned, just days after Trump won the US election with vows to impose sweeping tariffs on Chinese imports.
Senior economics lecturer Renaud Foucart argues that Trump’s threat to introduce more tariffs on goods coming into the US is in some ways a continuation of Biden’s approach, and the problems in the global economy go far beyond Trump’s protectionism.
China, after decades of mostly export-based growth, must now deal with massive problems of industrial overcapacity. The country is now trying to encourage more domestic consumption and to diversify its trading partners.
Europe, despite a very tight budget constraint, spends a lot of money in the subsidy race … All those subsidies are hurting the world economy and could have easily financed urgent needs such as the electrification of the entire African continent with solar panels and batteries.
Excess heat from London’s Underground will power iconic buildings in a new £1bn net zero scheme.

This comes following last week’s Budget, in which chancellor Rachel Reeves announced significant investments in green energy, including a £2bn pour into UK’s hydrogen schemes.
The initiative was recently launched by Hemiko and Vital Energi, who have partnered to transform Westminster’s heating infrastructure, marking a major step in the UK’s journey towards net zero.

However, according to figures released by JLL, house prices will rise by 20 per cent in the five years to 2029 with the firm citing that lower mortgage rates will bring buyers back to the market.
