If he has time between afternoon naps and avoiding civil war on the streets of divided America, Joe Biden might find a moment to think about Britain’s Brexit.
There is no reason to believe that the likely close-range victory of the new president is good news for the UK.

Its inauguration will change our long-lasting special relationship with the world’s greatest superpower from a warm bath to a cold shower.
The Biden team misidentifies Boris Johnson as a subservient ally of the loathed Donald Trump, and the Covid crisis has swallowed vital time to mend that impression.
This leaves our prime minister in Washington like a political wrecking ball, smashing the battlements of Biden’s beloved European Union.
Despite his bright white smile, “Sleepy Joe” is not as pleasant as he seems.
Our closest military and economic ally will make Britain pay for our 2016 vote to leave.
We will once again be in the “waiting queue” for favors.
Forget a quick and lucrative trade deal with the richest nation on Earth.
Forget the meeting of minds, if you can call it that, between the Trump White House and Boris’s cabinet.
Above all, forget the excitement shared by Brexit Night, which freed us from rigid and insensitive Brussels.
Biden is an absolute Europhile, despite the fact that no American president would ever dream of subscribing to such an irresponsible and undemocratic dictatorship.
In fact, he is an avowed supporter of the “ever closer” political and monetary union of the EU, exactly the reason the EU is falling apart.
Worse yet, this is personal. Biden is proud of his Irish blood, and boasts that “it’s the best part of me.”
He sided with the Irish Republicans on Brexit, accusing us of endangering the peace in Northern Ireland.
He is outraged by Britain’s decision to scrap a treaty that established a border in the Irish Sea and exposed exports to Northern Ireland to EU taxes.
IRREVERSIBLE CHANGE
Yet Britain, far more than any EU member state, is America’s greatest ally in war and peace. We can be counted on for key votes at the UN and NATO.
As Commander-in-Chief, Biden will know that we are there when we are needed most.
Trump’s huge turnout in the popular vote, after all the abuse by the pro-Biden media, marked an irreversible shift in the political landscape.
Donald may be a charmless and graceless bully, but millions of American voters are grateful for the rebound in the economy and the jobs it brought them.
Even his own Republican Party was stunned by the support of Hispanic and black voters that Democrats took for granted.
This surprising rebuke to the arrogant metropolitan elite was shamefully overlooked by pollsters who were asking the wrong questions.
It reflects a growing mood of anger among ordinary and working voters, both here in Europe and in the United States.
These are the people Hillary Clinton bitterly called “deplorable.”
In that despicable smear, he summed up the elitist view of the working classes who voted for Trump in America and for Brexit in Britain as “stupid and rude racists.”
It was a huge miscalculation. But it failed to stem the wave of stubborn leftists on both sides of the Atlantic determined to divide society by race and gender.
DIFFICULT POLICIES
America’s right to bear arms has turned identity politics into a dusty battle for control of the streets and cities.
The same battle is being fought unarmed here in Britain and across Europe right now between the social snobs we know best and a majority that was once silent.
Will Biden have the mental agility to adapt to this change in mood? The signs are not good.
At nearly 78, the oldest leader in the free world repeatedly mistook Donald Trump for George W Bush, who left the White House 12 years ago.
He stayed out of the campaign to avoid further mistakes. That didn’t stop him from mixing his granddaughter Natalie with his son Beau, who died of a brain tumor five years ago.
His own followers shrank.
Even before he is sworn in as president, there are fears that Biden may not be able to complete a full four-year term.
That leaves the White House wide open to Vice President Kamala Harris, an unproven senator with worryingly far-left policies in the economy, public order and international relations.
This is when America, Britain, and the rest of the Western world really need to be concerned.
