Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 January 2026

Debate

Venezuela

Contribution

The Prime Minister’s response has been very much in line with the leaders of countries across not just Europe but the world. We continue to stand up for and highlight the importance of international law and focus on the realities in Venezuela, where huge damage has been done over a long time, including by the interference of Iran and Russia. We are focusing on what should be the priority of all of us now: getting a democratic transition for Venezuela.
