Keir Starmer urges Labour to learn from Joe Biden's 'broad coalition'

Writing in the Guardian, Labour leader says strategy that won back votes in the US can work in UK

• Biden will put the US back on the world stage, and Britain must stand with him

The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, has urged his party to learn from Joe Biden's broad coalition" which won back voters who turned away from the Democrats four years ago, pointing to the president-elect's emphasis on family, community and security".

Starmer, an enthusiastic supporter of Biden's bid who shares a WhatsApp group with his staff called Let's Go Joe", said the victory of the former vice-president and his running mate Kamala Harris would fill the void in global leadership" and was a vote for a better, more optimistic future".
