Tory MP tells Biden it is time to ‘go home to his cocoa and slippers’

A Conservative MP has suggested Joe Biden “needs to read the room” and retire.

Speaking on Super Tuesday (5 March), Tim Loughton said the US needs to “be led by a strong, credible, moderate president” and that neither Biden nor Donald Trump “fit that bill”.

A re-match between the pair in the US presidential election this November is looking increasingly likely.

“Joe Biden, who I’m sure is a decent chap, frankly he needs to read the room,” Mr Loughton told BBC Politics Live.

“It’s time to go home to the cocoa and slippers.”
