It’s so funny how long this has been an extremely clear and present issue which everyone has ignored and no one wants to fix.
‘If anyone’s rinsing the system, it’s the employers paying poverty wages.’ Terri White argues that Britain has a problem with 'in-work' poverty, not people claiming benefits.

Someone said that they’re all just ‘eternal sixth formers’ and I don’t think I’ve ever heard an more apt description.

In England, serious crimes ("indictable offenses") are tried by a jury, not a judge. This is enshrined in the Magna Carta since the 13th century and has been copied by many other countries including the US. Terrorism falls into this category. It has no free speech defense, but

Opponents of immigration should start to panic. They claimed that immigration is the cause of our problems. Falling immigration with our current economic model means less growth. So when people's living standards flatline and public services struggle, who will they blame?
NEW: Net migration to the UK fell significantly to 204,000 in the year to June. That’s down from 649,000 in the year to June 2024 - a fall of around two-thirds.

£100k is not enough money to live on but £26k is too much for poor people to be allowed. Welcome to the modern UK, where being rich is being poor and being poor is apparently rich.
God forbid people have a liveable wage.

Ngl, the YP bullshit has killed any faith I had in Corbyn
🚨NEW: Jeremy Corbyn says he can ‘absolutely’ work with Zack Polanski. "I know Zach...we had a very pleasant breakfast together - I get on with him. I like him. We can work together." Who else is excited to FINALLY see left-wing UNITY?

The end of the right to protest. Digital ID cards. Abolition of trial by jury. If you are worried about the authoritarian future, it is already here. The current Starmer government is the most anti-democratic of the modern era. Starmer is basically just a fluffer for Farage.

I'm still struggling to come to terms with this tbqh. What is wrong with you, why don't you understand basic information. Why do you not care.
growing up autistic and realising you actually can’t change people’s minds with facts and reason

Introducing assisted suicide via the NHS & largely scrapping trial by jury are two seismic changes to our way of life which the Labour Party didn’t think it needed to bother giving the electorate any prior warning of before taking power.

One of my reasonable adjustments is leaving the office early bc this is such a problem. Not helped at all by these GB News fuckers who are actively contributing to this.
I’m honestly blown away by what’s just happened on my home from work… I got on a St Pancras, and despite visibly struggling with my mobility (full cast and crutches); not only did NO ONE offer me a seat, but I was actually pushed by someone as I was trying to get on the train

Capitalism boils down to the belief that everyone owes a few men a million livings, whether you can afford to survive or not.
Socialism boils down to the belief that someone else owes you a living.

This feels like a huge, and awful, change to the justice system - as a non-specialist. Is it as awful as it sounds?
🚨 NEW: The Government is set to scrap trial by jury for most cases Only murder, rape, manslaughter and a few public interest cases will go to a jury, while all other cases will be decided by a single judge [@thetimes]
