UK will not make any assessment on whether the US action in Venezuela is lawful. If the issue is pushed to a vote at the UN Sec Council, UK will abstain

The UK gov is concerned that doing otherwise would risk jeopardizing relations with the US at a critical time.

Yes, of course they will continue doing this while Trump’s goons do birthday military parades for the dead leader, sweep people off the streets into vans, kill the fuck out of any foreigner they want and work topple any government they don’t like. This will always, always be the line, no matter what

"The Left’s taste for tyrants stands exposed once again" [Telegraph]
The Left’s taste for tyrants stands exposed once again The Daily Telegraph5 Jan 2026Daniel Johnson Protesters gather in London to denounce the US intervention in Venezuela Faster than Dave Spart could say “Che Guevara”, a chorus of Labour, Lib Dem and Green MPS have called on the Prime Minister to condemn president Trump’s decapitation of the Maduro regime in Venezuela. “If you cannot say this is illegal, all your talk of human rights, the law and democracy is so much hot air,” fulminated Diane Abbott. Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party has launched a petition proclaiming “Stand with Venezuela” — even though very few actual Venezuelans seem inclined to stand with their despised and deposed ex-dictator. The same raddled radicals who half a century ago cut their teeth worshipping at the shrines of Castro and Mao, who spent their youth marching for Chile and Nicaragua, who rallied behind Saddam’s Iraq and still champion Hamas in Gaza, are now recycling their anti-american agitprop on behalf of a tinpot tyrant who even by Latin American standards is entirely unlamented. The love affair between Venezuelan dictators and the British Left goes back at least two decades. As mayor of London, Ken Livingstone struck up an unrequited dalliance with Hugo Chavez, the former colonel who, after a failed military coup, had been elected Venezuelan president. By then he was touting his ideology of “Chavismo” around the globe. As the strongman of Central America, his brand of Left-wing populism was all the rage in the salons of Islington. In 2006 Red Ken welcomed this bombastic bolshie to City Hall and was promptly invited for a lavish return visit to Caracas. The following year, the mayor announced that his chum colonel Chavez had promised to supply cheap oil to Transport for London, which would fund half-price tube and bus fares. Livingstone’s bid to bribe voters with largesse looted from impoverished Venezuelans failed to deter Londoners from replacing him with Boris Johnson.

Al Jazeera a few minutes ago: "Thousands of govt supporters turned out on Sunday in Venezuela"

Although you wouldn't know this if you were watching #BBCBreakfast or Sky News or #GMB this morning.

I'm also gonna say the fact that we didn't spend the entire news weekend talking about how "awesome" it is that we paraded Maduro through NY in an open door van but rather listened to this entire admin defensively justify it all shows that they're already getting heat for this and they're worried.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

NEW: Prime Minister of Denmark just responded to Trump's threat to annex Greenland (Which is part of Denmark) by invoking the NATO alliance's "collective security guarantee" to defend all members from attacks. We are now on the verge of war with a NATO ally because of Trump.

Trump just threatened to attack Greenland next, and the prime minister of Denmark/Greenland just invoked Nato's collective defense article.

Coming up next: Trump starts a war with a Nato ally, while Russian trolls and MAGA dumbfucks cheer.

Then this would be an attack on a NATO protected country, because of the special relationship with Denmark. See link www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Notable to me that fed-up leaders of Greenland and Denmark are not only telling Trump to stop his threats, but also suggesting that their NATO/EU compadres should speak up against the bluster as well. I’ve seen messages of support from Finland, Norway & Sweden today.

I hope Trump is the floor, the worst to which the degenerates in the republican party can sink, but I have been around too long to bet serious money on it
