Good headline. #DavidLammy's plot against #TrialByJury is undone!
But check the small print.
New #LordChancellor, #AlexNorris, hasn't entirely scrapped #Lammy's plan.
Yes, judge-only courts are gone.
But, the max sentence in magistrates courts is still increased, to at least 18 months.
And in either-way cases, the right to choose #TrialByJury will be taken from defendants, and given to #magistrates. That will be disastrous for protesters. 😡

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?

One of the best surviving fragments of Henry VIII’s privy apartments at Hampton Court Palace, the “Wolsey Closet” provides a glimpse of how colourful and highly decorated those apartments were. In Issue 04, Charles Farris explores the wonders of this small space, where nothing is as it seems.
