  1. CW: UK law, info hidden from jury

    This is such a weird twisty thing. Like why _not_ tell the jury in the first place that you consider these actions potentially to be terrorism? Why not let them decide for themselves if it is or isn't? Why keep that part secret?

  2. 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?

  7. #TrialByJury is not an English invention. #JuryTrial is a medieval English adaptation from Nordic & classical precedents.

    But the result is one of the greatest protections against injustice. Yet after hundreds of years, the Injustice Secretary #DavidLammy wants to severely restrict juries.

    #GeoffreyCox's contribution to the debate is one of the great #Commons speeches. A former #AttorneyGeneral, Cox's booming voice politely shreds the government case.

  9. Trojan horse, or just “modernisation” that quietly changes the relationship between you and the state?

    This video connects three things worth watching closely: jury trial reform, closer EU alignment, and a UK digital ID that could drift into daily life, including public services.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oweYpzkjQhw

    What we can verify is that these conversations are real: proposals linked to David Lammy would reduce the number of jury trials to deal with the court backlog. Labour’s EU “reset” talk includes dynamic alignment in certain areas. The government is also pushing a digital ID scheme framed around access to services, and MPs are already discussing how digital ID could be used for unified patient record access.

    My take: don’t let any of this become “normal” without scrutiny. Ask what problem it solves, what powers it creates, what mission creep looks like, and what the opt out actually means in practice.

  10. "Both judges and juries bring biases to the courtroom. The critical difference is that juries are more diverse than a single judge. Today, 89% of judges are white, 61% are men, and around a third attended private school. Fewer than 10% come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds"

    Jurors aren’t impartial – that’s exactly why they are so important to justice

    “At the trial in February 2024, Judge Silas Reid told the jury that they would be committing a criminal offence if they made a verdict on anything other than the evidence”
