Sir Keir Starmer has told GB News that Nicolas Maduro caused “untold misery across Venezuela” and warned against US military action to seize Greenland.
He stood by the Government’s policy on inheritance tax for farms, refused to say if he had been barred from his local pub, and went on to accuse Nigel Farage of “peddling falsehoods”.
The Prime Minister told GB News’ Political Editor Christopher Hope: “Well, the position of this government is that what we need in Venezuela is a peaceful transition to democracy. That was our position before this weekend. It remains our position.
“The president was illegitimate and caused untold misery across Venezuela. International law is the framework, is the anchor, or the benchmark against which we judge the actions of all other governments, and it is, of course, for the US to justify the action that it has taken.
“It is not straightforward. It is complicated. And even today, there are further developments. But I won’t shy away from the fact that international law is the framework and is the benchmark.”
