Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 January 2026

Debate

Venezuela

Contribution

I think I have been clear not only that rules matter and that international law matters, but that we need to ensure that we look at the different circumstances of different situations and rightly approach each one in turn. That is why we have today set out our position on Greenland. I caution hon. Members against creating equivalence between different situations in different parts of the world and between very different circumstances in very different countries. We have to be realistic about the differences between them in the approach that we take.
