Ah good old Labour, your rights optional when it costs too much and gets in the way of administering unjustifiable charges.
I have learned we dont have a right to cheaper energy, nor jury trials in the last few weeks.
I wish my surprise was as great as my disappointment.
This will be hard to live down ever.
It’s not a reform. Nothing is being reformed here. It’s just a cut to meet arbitrary budget targets.
So let’s summarise this government up then shall we.
1) Implementing a digital ID scheme costing £1.8 billion that wasn’t in their manifesto, that no one voted for and no one wants, to solve a problem that everyone knows it won’t solve.
2) Implemented the OSA that no one wants, and does little for internet safety other than driving people towards VPN.
3) Break manifesto pledges to not raise taxes on working people, by raising c. £70 billion in taxes on working people within the first 2 budgets – immediately after saying they won’t.
4) And now this, fancy the centuries old right to fair trial by jury? Nah we’ll strip that out too. Did anyone want or vote for this either?
All the ghouls that defend labour to the hills are just comical. They’re an absolute farce – no better than the Tories.
Have I missed anything?
In before someone parrots on about some low level policy that they’re doing well on.
I notice it doesn’t mention the removal of the automatic right to appeal, which was the very dodgy part of the leak last week. Hopefully that has been dropped.
Waste of government time. It should have been in their manifesto to have any chance of becoming law.The jury system should be limited to trial estimates of a fortnight or less . Complex fraud trials should be dealt with by a bench.
Legal aid funding to pay for lawyers to turn up at court (which there is a shortage of) is a paltry £2.2 billion and the courts & tribunal service gets £2.5 billion.
The UK spends £4.5 billion on asylum seekers, hotel spending alone matches the legal aid budget. Removing the child benefit cap will also add an extra £3 billion a year.
So there’s money to go around, the system is just chronically underfunded. The backlog of cases was declining pre-Covid so it really is just funding and a government choice to remove your right to a fair trial.
