This is utterly DAMNING for David Lammy. "We are not looking to convict people as quickly as possible, we are looking for justice." A Barrister clinically dismantles David Lammy's disgraceful decision to scrap jury trials. Watch until the end. It wont even fix the backlog.

Andy Burnham is said to want to scrap Labour's attack on jury trials. But he's reappointed Sarah Sackman to the Ministry of Justice. She says the attack on jury trials is vital - and in Parliament played down what Burnham had said. Who's in charge? What's the policy?

Today I raised a PMQ on the Government’s plan to cut back jury trials. If this is really about reducing the backlog we inherited from years of Tory mismanagement, why is there no sunset clause?

David Lammy is attacking jury trials. He claims this is to reduce the court backlog. This is simply not true. The effect will be tiny. Watch me explain here 👇

Keir Starmer and David Lammy WANT to take away your right to a jury trial. We can’t let that happen. The Prime Minister doubled down on this sinister plan during a visit to China — a country not known for its love of freedom. David Lammy claims this “radical action” is needed to clear the Crown Court backlog. That’s a lie. The Institute for Government shows it would save just 2% of Crown Court time — not the 20% Lammy promised. The Free Speech Union knows how vital jury trials are. If Lammy gets his way, more people will be banged up simply for exercising free speech. Join over 40,000 people and sign the Free Speech Union’s petition to SAVE JURY TRIALS.

#TrialByJury The leader of the North Eastern Circuit, Caroline Goodwin KC, has just given the Justice Minister a reality check on Labour’s plans to limit jury trials to deal with the court backlog. You don’t solve a backlog by removing one of the oldest safeguards of liberty in this country. Trial by jury is not an administrative inconvenience. It is a protection against the power of the state. Create the chaos to present the solution. Labour is exacerbating the issue and then presenting the solution, and the solution always seems to involve less liberty, more state power, and fewer protections for the individual. Limit jury trials, and what you move towards are Diplock-style courts, trials decided by a single judge without a jury. We have been down that road before, and it was never meant to be normal justice. This country fought for jury trials. They are not a bureaucratic problem to be managed away. Be very careful when governments start talking about “efficiency” in the justice system. Efficiency for the state often means fewer rights for the people.

“The negative reaction to Lammy’s proposals has reassuringly come from all sides of the political landscape”. Criminal barrister, Adam King, noted that David Lammy’s plan to slash our right to trial by jury has reassuringly managed to unite both the left and right in opposition — including Rupert Lowe and Baroness Chakrabarti. Defending our ancient right to trial by jury — a cornerstone of our criminal justice system — is an issue that transcends party politics. Watch Adam King speak at the Free Speech Union’s ‘In defence of trial by jury’ event last week ⬇️
