This week, the Government confirmed that it is pressing ahead with its authoritarian plan to slash our right to jury trials. Keir Starmer and David Lammy are ignoring warnings from judges, lawyers, opposition MPs, their own backbenchers, and victims of crime. Their plan will undermine public trust in the... show more

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.

David Lammy tried to slash our right to a trial by jury — a right that predates Magna Carta. As Justice Secretary in Starmer’s Government, he led the biggest assault on English liberty — particularly free speech — in more than 800 years. David Lammy claimed his plan was the only way to reduce the backlog of 80,000 Crown Court cases, despite offering no credible evidence to support it. What his plan would have achieved is a profound erosion of public trust in the criminal justice system, while sending more people behind bars simply for exercising their right to free speech. FSU research has shown that those charged with speech-related offences are almost twice as likely to be acquitted in a Crown Court with a jury than in a magistrates’ court without one. Now that Andy Burnham has sent him packing, let’s hope he takes his authoritarian plan with him. Watch FSU Campaigns Officer Max Thompson 👇

The right to trial by jury dates back to Henry II — and for David Lammy, we should point out that he came after Henry I. In the most AUTHORITARIAN move taken by this government to date — and that’s a pretty high bar — Lammy plans to slash our right to jury trials. FSU research has shown that if you are charged with a speech-related offence, you are almost twice as likely to be acquitted in a Crown Court with a jury than in a magistrates’ court without one. Almost 30,000 people have signed our petition calling on the government to guarentee this ancient right is protected. If you care about English liberty — particularly free speech — ✍️ SIGN OUR PETITION:

In 2016, the then Conservative Prime Minister, David Cameron, commissioned the then backbench Labour MP, David Lammy to conduct a review and investigate racial bias in the criminal justice system of England and Wales. The report known as the Lammy Report was published in 2017. It's proven to be quite a significant report in many ways in shaping government policy, information collected by institutions in our CJS, and areas of focus. Ironically, one of the key findings of the report was that black people were disproportionately more likely to be negatively impacted in non-jury trials as they were in jury trials. Judges were overwhelmingly older, white, public school educated, middle class men. In his view, jury trials provided greater protection against the structural issues he found in his own report. Fast forward to 2026. The same David Lammy is now a Rt. Hon. Justice Secretary, proposing to create MORE non-jury trials. Some of the reasons are to save money, clear backlogs, and get faster justice for victims. Watch this fantastic speech by former Justice Secretary and King's Counsel, Sir. Geoffrey Cox MP. When politicians are willing to destroy core tenets of our democratic and liberal society to save money (which never happens), etc. we don't have leaders - we have institutional saboteurs.

🚨 This is the most AUTHORITARIAN move the government has made to date — and that’s a pretty high bar. David Lammy wants to scrap the right to trial by jury, a protection that dates back over 800 years to Magna Carta. Jury trials are a cornerstone of English liberty, and a crucial safeguard for free speech. Our research shows that defendants who justify their actions on free speech grounds are twice as likely to be acquitted in a crown court with a jury than in a magistrates’ court without one.

“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.

🚨KEIR STARMER IS SPEARHEADING ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING ATTACKS ON CIVIL LIBERTIES IN MODERN TIMES The government has absolutely no mandate to do this. Labour never mentioned in its manifesto that it planned to undermine and restrict a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy - the right to trial by jury - a move which will place us on a path toward authoritarian justice. But it’s not too late for the government to listen to the thousands of voices of victims, judges, barristers, other legal professionals and academics who oppose this blatant act of constitutional vandalism. CONTACT YOUR MP NOW and ask them to step up and protect this cherished and precious cornerstone of our democracy

More than 300 KCs and 22 retired judges are among the 3,236 legal professionals who have signed our letter calling on the Prime Minister to stop the government's jury trial proposal ahead of a parliamentary debate on new legislation to restrict jury trials today. Our letter urges the government against draining valuable time and resources from our criminal justice system by attempting to force through an unpopular, untested and poorly evidenced change to our jury system. Among the signatories alongside Bar Council Chair and Vice Chair, Criminal Bar Association Chair and Vice Chair and all Circuit leaders are legal leaders, including the former Director of Public Prosecutions Sir David Calvert-Smith, JUSTICE Chief Exec Fiona Rutherford, APPEAL (Centre for Criminal Appeals) Co Director Emma Torr and 4 former Chairs of the Bar Council as well as two former Chairs of The CBA. Several well-known on-screen faces have also signed the letter including 'Judge Rinder’ Rob Rinder, ‘chaser’ Shaun Wallace - The Dark Destroyer - the Chase and both barrister contestants from this year’s Traitors series, Harriet Tyce and Hugo Lodge. Kirsty Brimelow KC said: "This letter and its more than 3,000 signatories demonstrate the unequivocal principled and practical opposition to the restriction of jury trials from not only the Bar, but the legal profession as a whole... “It’s not too late for the government to listen to us as experts and as a profession and stop before bulldozing our jury system. We are ready to support a turn to the efficiencies that will increase productivity and will actually make a difference to the backlog and delays.” Read more: #JusticeNeedsJuries

Trial by jury is a fundamental part of our legal system. Victims and the wider British public have more confidence in jury decisions than judges. Focus on court efficiencies using technology and investment to bring down backlogs. Don’t mess with trial by jury.

David Lammy is now trying to use victims of sexual abuse to push through his plan to scrap jury trials in the UK. We aren’t “dropping” our cases. The justice system drops us. Stop exploiting the women and girls you failed for years. Stop using us to justify your evil agenda.

David Lammy announced today that he plans to abolish trial by jury for all but the most serious offences. UK law is built on the fundamental right to be tried by our peers. Take this away, and you open the door to politicisation, corruption, and unfair trials. This undermines the very foundation of British justice and it must be stopped.

The UK Marxist establishment is getting rid of jury trials for mid-tier offenses like speech crimes because juries are far more likely to acquit Britons for speech offenses than woke Fabian Society judges. Go to the website in the video and sign the petition.

Christopher Kinch KC, a retired judge, has said that his many years at the bar and on the bench have convinced him that trial by jury is “the gold standard — the best system yet devised to decide whether guilt has been proven.” David Lammy has, in many respects, acknowledged this indirectly by planning to retain jury trials for the most serious cases. An incredibly powerful justification would be needed to scrap this ancient liberty — and none has been provided. Watch Christopher Kinch KC at our In Defence of Jury Trials event last week 👇
