UK media on November 30 continued its intense scrutiny of Rachel Reeves and the Budget, following days of reports about a significant "black hole." In the morning, Reeves denied lying about the budget forecasts during interviews, a claim Starmer backed. Calls for her resignation intensified throughout the day, with figures like Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage demanding an inquiry. The day saw a persistent focus on her denials and the mounting political pressure. Separately, Venezuela condemned Trump's threat to close its airspace. International news also included rising death tolls from the Hong Kong apartment blaze and Indonesian floods, and a meeting between Ukrainian and US officials in Florida.
