"I don't blame jury trials at all." That's the verdict of Sir Brian Leveson - Chair of the Independent Review of Courts - when I asked why trials are taking so long. So why is David Lammy and the Government scrapping jury trials for so many?

An estimated 1.2% of young people have autism but the diagnosis rate has soared to over 4%. That's what Prof Fonagy's report says. Whether overdiagnosis or misdiagnosis - support is not going where it should. We need system-wide change to remove cash incentives for a diagnosis and ensure therapeutic support for those in genuine need to learn, work and contribute to the economy.

Young people shouldn't be able to drift from education to life on benefits. We will end Universal Credit for people turning 18 and replace it with a Get To Work programme. We need to bring fairness back to the system. A life on benefits isn't good for anyone.

The Minister admits the big rise in kids on DLA will transfer onto PIP claims as they become adults. We must end the system of cash payments for less severe conditions and ensure those in genuine need have therapeutic support to learn, work and contribute to the economy.

Ex-boss of UK Border Force says the Government's Immigration and Asylum Bill does NOT do enough to tackle illegal immigration and boat crossings. Watch me struggle to allow his voice to be heard.

Proceeding with a Puberty Blocker Trial on physically healthy young children is morally and ethically wrong. It simply should not be going ahead.

Soon, parents will not be able to consent to their child having a social media account. Yet the Government believes they can consent to drugs that suppress puberty and alter a child's sexual development. The PATHWAYS puberty blocker trial must not proceed.

Conservatives will tackle the ballooning benefits bill. We will cut Universal Credit by 30% for those who can work but are persistently out of work and with no real history of working. And no taxpayer money for cigarettes, booze and gambling. We think that's fair.

The Government has agreed the NHS should pay 25% more for US drugs at the stroke of a pen. But the Health Secretary can't say how much it will cost the NHS, where the money will come from, or if the figure has even been worked out yet. Talk about checking out. What a shambles.

Incoherent start from the PM. Blaming the last 40 years, when he was in Government for part of them, while complaining about centralisation of power after serving as a devolved Mayor – a role created by the last Conservative Government.

The Chancellor Rachel Reeves will blame everyone except herself for the high taxes, youth unemployment and economic mess of her own making. Today she is in Europe blaming Brexit. No accountability, no backbone, no plan. CCHQ Press

The new GP contract shows no increase in spending above GP's own inflationary pressures. So a real terms cut. Wes Streeting is more interested in the Prime Minister's salary. I wonder why?!

Wanting better dementia care is not like a game of "Buckeroo" as you casually claim Wes Streeting. Dementia is the UK's biggest cause of death, affecting nearly 1 million people and their families. You took it out of the NHS planning priorities. Now put it back in.
