Trump broke his constitutional duty to inform Congress.
The UN special rapporteur is calling for Trump to be investigated.
Trump promised to make a statement to the nation, and didn't.
There's no proof Maduro is even alive.
And Starmer can't find the words "I condemn this"

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it
