| Description | Downing Street’s congratulatory message to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for winning the US presidential election contains a hidden message congratulating Donald Trump for winning a second term in office.
The message, first reported by the Guido Fawkes blog, suggests that No 10 was preparing for the possibility of congratulating Donald Trump on a re-election long after it had become clear that Joe Biden was winning the count in key battleground states.
But the baffling decision to alter a pre-existing image rather than create an entirely new one, let alone to not then fully delete the original message, looks likely to create more friction between the UK government and the incoming administration. |
