Thursday’s front pages feature images from the rapidly spreading LA wildfires – the worst in Los Angeles history. At least five wildfires are now raging in Los Angeles and parts of its neighbouring counties – three of the blazes are completely uncontained.

Five people are confirmed dead and more than 137,000 people have been evacuated in what has become the most destructive wildfire in LA’s history.

Closer to home, the front pages report on the ongoing impact of the chancellor’s October Budget as the Treasury has been forced to intervene to calm the markets. 

The ongoing spat between European leaders and American tech companies continues to find space on the UK front pages, as well as the pushback from Europe on Elon Musk’s continued meddling in European politics. The incoming US director of counter-terrorism has told Britain to take back UK members of ISIS being held in Syria – including Shamima Begum, offering a key insight into how America plans to deal with its allies.

The stabbing death of a 14-year-old boy in London also makes several tabloid front pages as his mother opens up about how the London teen was groomed by a gang.
