The wind of Biden’s change is blowing through Johnson’s Government

America’s result is having knock-on effects in Downing Street: see yesterday’s green speech and today’s defence news.

The proposed foreign aid cut. Many Tories are against it. But Sunak has limited options as he tries to salvage the economy.

Reports suggest the Government is planning to reduce spending from 0.7 per cent of gross national income to 0.5 per cent.

Stephen Booth: Brexit-related concerns about a Biden presidency are overblown. The reality is more nuanced.

From wanting to tackle climate change, to striving for greater security cooperation, the PM and US president share many of the same goals.

Adrian Pascu-Tulbure: As the recent US election showed, the minority vote is no longer automatically Democrat

There are all sorts of explanations about why people voted the “wrong” way. But the simplest may be the appeal of conservative values.

Alistair Burt: Global Britain can also be European Britain

Multilateral political cooperation with the EU, as well as the bilateral relations with its member states, remains in the UK’s best interest.

Ryan Bourne: A British overspill from America’s result. Why the debate on the right over economics will now intensify.

Stateside narratives have a tendency to be imported into UK politics – one of the knock-on effects of this messy Presidential election outcome.

Daniel Hamilton: From Europe to Iran – what a Biden foreign policy will look like

“Folks! The people of this nation have spoken. They have delivered a clear victory…“I am humbled by the trust and confidence you place in me.”

A one-term President Biden?

Perhaps he will contest the 2024 presidential contest at the age of nearly 82. But expectation that he may not will surely undermine his authority.

Trump’s path to a narrow win and Biden’s to a comfortable one

It’s very early to draw conclusions from America’s elections – though the President’s challenge to the results has been coming for some time.

Iain Dale: Trump is displaying all the signs of believing his own lies. And he is undermining democracy itself.

The fact, however, that he has won five million more votes than he did in 2016 does tell us that we cannot write him off as an aberration.

WATCH: Biden – “We believe we’re on track to win this election”

“It ain’t over until every vote is counted – every ballot is counted,” he says, as both America’s main parties begin to lawyer up.

Garvan Walshe: How to shape UK foreign policy for the new administration
