#Starmer lied his way to power, with #DarkMoney. He ran a #HierarchyOfRacism in the #LabourParty, purged Jewish members for anti-zionism, binged on #freebies.
In power, Starmer:
^ starved kids
^ froze grannies
^ endorsed cutting water to civilians
^ shared intelligence with genociders
^ criminalised opponents of #genocide as "terrorist"
^ appointed a #paedophile-adjacent ambassador
^ restricts #TrialByJuryBut now Starmer has the cheek to call #ZackPolanski unfit to lead. 😡 #YCMTSU.

#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.

If you want to understand the underlying reason that the Govt. (in the person of David Lammy) wants to restrict trial by jury, don't take the claims it will resolve the courts backlog too seriously (even Lammy admits it will have only a small effect over time), look at what juries often do.... which is not just take prosecutors claims at face value!
Yup, they're unreliable in the exercise of political repression & so need to be removed!

Kirsty Brimelow, the chair of the Bar Council which represents barristers in England and Wales, had said that her organisation was in complete opposition to the plans to diminish #TrialbyJury for "pragmatic and principled reasons" - and argued they had been put forward for "ideological" reasons.

Honest, this not a spoof. It's a screenshot from https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/04/lammy-my-christian-faith-shows-me-right-curb-jury-trials/ / https://archive.is/Ta0k8
Did #Jesus actually denounce #trialbyjury? Or is David #Lammy as a mad as a box of frogs?

@ChrisMayLA6 Please don't dismiss that as mere kite-flying!
A 3-year sentence threshold will still cover most of the cases currently heard in Crown Courts. It remains a devastating attack on the right to #TrialByJury.

Since 2010, 295 court facilities (including magistrates' courts, county courts, tribunal buildings, family courts, and crown courts) closed in England and Wales, with 239 total court closures occurring over a 12-year period
That's the why

The UK's hated #Starmer regime proposes to massively curtail the right to #TrialByJury.
Robert Hardy was a judge for two decades. He defends the importance of juries.

“MoJ to remove right to trial by jury for thousands of cases in controversial overhaul.” And so our ancient rights are eroded. #Labour #Justice #TrialByJury

"A grand jury is not a trial jury like yourselves. Its function is quite different. A grand jury does not find facts or decide whether a person is guilty or not guilty. A grand jury's function is merely to accuse. The accusation that the grand jury returns is the indictment, and the indictment starts the process that leads to trial by jury."

"The trial Judge had ruled out all the four’s potential legal defences, including the necessity to save lives and prevent the greater crime. In order to be able to appeal directly to the jury, the actionists then represented themselves in court and reminded the jury members of their right to acquit as a matter of conscience, regardless of legal argument.

"Referring to her daughter's use of Uber Eats, Mrs McGinty says she does not know how it can be right that she is considered to have "authorised my child to waive our rights to go to a trial if we're injured in a car accident." "
Note to self, never use Uber Eats.

You can read the full judgment in #TrudiWarner’s important victory over the Solicitor General here. It confirms the principle of #juryequity and acknowledges that the difference between it being a “right” and a “power”, as put forward by the SG, is essentially a non-argument. #Righttoprotest #ClimateCrisis #TrialByJury

Fantastic sight of #PeoplesAssembly facing off threats to #Democracy and #TrialbyJury #RoyalCourtsofJustice in London, UK

Members of a jury have the absolute, unfettered right to decline to be the executioners of unjust laws.
The point of the exercise *should* be to introduce humanity to a system otherwise perfectly designed to repress, intimidate and make an example of deviants and rebels, and by extension the rest of us.
Otherwise, all the jury system does is ensure that lots more people are walking around with blood on their hands.

68yo #TrudiWarner is being prosecuted for contempt of court for holding a sign informing jurors of their right to acquit on conscience, outside a trial of environmental protestors at Inner London Crown Court.
If the trial had been held at the Central Criminal Court, (the #OldBailey ) 1.5 miles north, jurors would have been able to read the plaque outside telling them about this right and its origin in Bushel’s Case, 1670.
