Boris Johnson revealed he had become one of the first world leaders to speak to Joe Biden this afternoon - hours after an embarrassing gaffe by Downing Street in a tweet congratulating the US president-elect on his victory was uncovered.
The Prime Minister announced he had discussed the coronavirus pandemic and climate change with the Democrat by telephone after calling to 'congratulate him on his election' over Donald Trump at 4pm.
Downing Street said the call lasted 20-25 minutes while the Prime Minister was in his office in No10.
