Leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey shared his relief that the new Democratic President will lead America back into the Paris Agreement.
Perhaps the most important news is that Biden will reverse Donald Trump's disastrous climate policies and bring the US back into the Paris Agreement.
I look forward to the Biden Administration bringing America back to this global struggle, where Trump had failed to do so. (2/4)

Layla Moran MP shared her excitement on a the new Biden administration bringing some reason and calm during turbulent times.
Not been this excited about a #InaugurationDay since Obama. It feels like the righting of the ship after over half a decade of hurricane level disruption. The water may yet be choppy, but Biden will be a much calmer, more considered presence on the world stage.
