Ed Dav asks at #Pmqs, "Does the PM agree with his old mentor that the invasion of #Venezuela was an international crime?"

KS "it is our long-standing position that #Maduro was not a legitimate prime minister, and we need a peaceful transition to democracy in Venezuela. The benchmark is international law, and it is for the US to justify its actions accordingly. My focus is on the defence of the United Kingdom."

ED "The PM looks ridiculous when he won't say that the US has broken intl law"

@Geri

The follow-on question should be:

Is the PM happy with establishing the precedent that a foreign country deciding that a government is acting unlawfully is adequate justification for regime change?

Because this same justification would permit the EU to replace Starmer if they decided that he was acting unlawfully.
