The British peer who referred to US vice president-elect Kamala Harris as “the Indian” has been condemned by Joe Biden’s former special adviser.

Jon Wolfsthal, a former special adviser to the president-elect, said Lord Kilclooney “should be ashamed” of his racially-charged remark – reminding the life peer that Ms Harris “is American”.

It comes as the Speaker of the House of Lords, Norman Fowler, demanded the peer apologise for tweeting: “What happens if Biden moves on and the Indian becomes President.”

The Speaker said: “Lord Kilclooney should retract and apologise. This is an offensive way to refer to anyone, let alone a woman who has just made history. The comment is entirely unacceptable and has no place in British politics.”
