Biden says UK elections a cautionary tale for far-left Democrats in America

Joe Biden told supporters at a San Francisco fundraiser that the Labour Party’s landslide defeat in the United Kingdom is a warning to the Democratic Party in the United States not to slide too far left.

“Boris Johnson is winning in a walk,” the former vice president said Thursday, referring to the U.K.’s prime minister and leader of the Conservative Party. Biden also said he predicted headlines would say, “Look what happens when the Labour Party moves so, so far to the Left. It comes up with ideas that are not able to be contained within a rational basis quickly.”
