Mr Speaker, may I wish you and everyone in this House a happy new year? I welcome the progress made on security guarantees for Ukraine yesterday. Geoffrey Robertson KC is a respected authority on international law. He is also the head of the Prime Minister’s barrister chambers and he could not be clearer: President Trump’s actions in Venezuela are illegal. He says the United States: “is in breach of the United Nations charter” and “has committed the crime of aggression, which the court at Nuremberg described as the supreme crime”. Does the Prime Minister agree with his old mentor, or has he got it wrong?
