6. Some of the hardline Brexiteers don't like any criticism of Brexit

Iain Duncan Smith (one of our worst politicians ever) opened his big mouth about this. And the Sun criticized Biden for 'threatening' our 'newly independent' nation, though they stopped short of giving any praise or endorsement to Trump.

But it doesn't feature strongly in the UK as an issue. The Brexiteers are more preoccupied with blaming the EU and the 'Remoaners' and Nicola Sturgeon for any problem with Brexit than with attacking the Democrats. The British press at the moment is much more preoccupied with Covid, an emerging 'second wave', and with possible restrictions that may be introduced to combat it, than with the supposed sins of Biden.
