This has nothing to do with justice, cost-saving or backlogs. It is a bureaucratic and authoritarian measure, designed to prevent the public having their proper role in the justice system. PM aims to abolish juries in half of trials before May elections https://t.co/ueRpea8mro

Labour MP Jeff Smith, the MP for the constituency next to Gorton & Denton, leads their campaign for drug reform … that has the same policy as the greens. Why does he have the whip if they think he wants crack dens in playgrounds? Will Labour force him to resign!?!?!?!?
