Описание: Sir Keir Starmer led tributes to outgoing US president Joe Biden in the House of Commons.

He told MPs that Joe Biden’s presidency “will leave a legacy that extends far beyond America”,

It comes after the US president announced he would not seek a second term in the White House.

Sir Keir said the US president was “a man who, during five decades of service, never lost touch with the concerns of working people and always put his country first”.

He told MPs: “His presidency will leave a legacy that extends far beyond America to freedom and security on this continent.

Conservative leader Rishi Sunak and Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey also spoke to pay tribute to Mr Biden.
