Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Your election marks a new chapter in the history of your country and in the special partnership between our two nations. The UK & US will always work together to defend our shared values.

The UK will co-host the UN climate change summit #COP26 in Glasgow next year.

May their courage, dedication and sacrifice never be forgotten #FirefightersMemorialDay
The race to discover the vaccine to defeat this virus is not a competition between countries, but the most urgent shared endeavour of our lifetimes.
It’s humanity against the virus - we are in this together, and together we will prevail.
