00:00Mr Speaker, a whole civilisation will die tonight. Words I never thought I would hear
00:07from an American president. And though Donald Trump, thankfully, did not follow through
00:12this time, these words are a stark reminder of how reckless, immoral and completely outside
00:20the bounds of international law this president is. Regrettably, he is no friend of the United
00:27Kingdom. He is no leader of the free world. He is a dangerous and corrupt gangster, and
00:33that is how we must treat him. So will the Prime Minister advise the King to call off his
00:39state visits to Washington before it's too late? Because I really fear for what Trump
00:44might say or do while our King is forced to stand by his side. We cannot put His Majesty
00:51in that position. Mr Speaker, in relation to the King, the relationship
00:56the King's visit, the relationship between our two countries is very important on a number
01:01of levels. And often what the monarchy is able to do through the bonds that they build is reach
01:07through the decades in a situation like this. And the purpose of the visit is to mark the
01:12250th anniversary of the relationship between our country and the United States. And that's
01:17why the visit is going ahead. In relation to the blockade, let me be clear, as I've been
01:22already in the last day or so, that we are focusing our efforts on opening in full the Strait of
01:30Hormuz because of the damage it's doing to economies around the world, including our own economy.
