Donald Trump falsely claimed victory as millions of votes are yet to be counted
Boris Johnson has sidestepped calls to comment on Donald Trump’s call to stop the counting of votes in the US election saying: “We don’t comment as the UK government on the democratic processes of our friends and allies.”
He had been asked by the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, at prime minister’s questions whether he agreed that “it’s not for the candidate to say which votes do or don’t count or when to stop counting” in the US election.
