Lift The Ban - Defend Our Juries

Following intensive lobbying by representatives of the Israeli government and the arms industry such as Lord Walney, dishonestly presented to the public as ‘independent advisers’, domestic direct action group Palestine Action have been branded as a ‘terrorist organisation’, for trying to stop crimes against humanity and for exposing the British government’s complicity in genocide.

@Geri If there's such a backlog of cases as we're being told, surely the answer is to reopen/re-establish the court buildings shut by the Tories and increase the number of sitting days.

Abolishing trial by jury is akin to having brain surgery for a broken ankle.

Micheal Mansfield KC, speaking with some authority on SKY, says the backlog in cases being heard is down to lack of investment in the whole system, not whether cases are being heard by jury or magistrate and of the latter he is concerned because, "that is only one man's mind over seeing a case"

In 2017 #Lammy published the Lammy Review as to how BAME ppl were treated by the CPS. One of its major concerns was the lack of black & brown people in the judiciary and, how that number has not changed over time, that, & the time in 2023 when he backed calls for compulsory anti-racist training are primary indicators that the reduction in jury trials WILL disproportionately affect minorities, badly

The nonsense he says today he condemned yesterday 🙄

As #ForeignSecretary, #DavidLamny was a dissembling supporter of Israel while it conducted a #genocide.

Now he is #LordChancellor & Secretary of State for Injustice. He is gutting the right to #jurytrial, claiming implausibly that it will speed justice. In reality, it's an attempt to eliminate #JuryNullification in trials of #protesters like the #Filton24 and the #Colston4.

This leaves a great mystery.

Lammy's politics are horrendous. Why is #Lammy not more hated?

Ayes 203 Nos 311. Maj 108

Lammy’s bill passes

By virtue of the fact that the House rejected the Conservative amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill

#defendourjuries

Should you be interested to know, they have just divided for the Courts and Tribunals Bill
