Zarah Sultana – 2020 Comments on Joe Biden’s Election as US President

The comments made by Zarah Sultana, the Labour MP for Coventry South, on 7 November 2020.

Trump’s defeat should be celebrated. A viciously racist President, he cut taxes for the richest while stoking hate.

Congratulations to the organisers who made all the difference. That grassroots power will be needed now to tackle the climate crisis and to take on corporate greed.

The bonds of friendship between the UK and US will only grow deeper and stronger.
