An interesting fact about the Graham Linehan @Glinner appeal is that the right Mr Linehan exercised - an automatic right to appeal a summary conviction via a full rehearing in the Crown Court - would no longer exist under David Lammy’s proposed reforms.

GOOD MORNING DAVID LAMMY

Guess who’s back? Back again?

It’s me. But. More pressingly. It’s 21% of courtrooms empty as 80,000 wait for trial & while you try to restrict jury trial for thousands.

I’ve had enough of this. Shall we debate it? Name a broadcaster & format. I’m game.

@mynameisgill Depends how quickly you can eat them… or maybe you prefer soggy crisps.

[corpcriminallawcaz @FergusonLegal]

@mynameisgill Or when you are a size small they think you are short with little legs and arms!

[corpcriminallawcaz @FergusonLegal]

@mynameisgill Hmmm 🤔 except now they will expect you t follow through 😂

[Joanna Hardy-Susskind @Joanna__Hardy]

Evening all.

As we sail ever closer to the abyss of losing jury trials for thousands of citizens - I’d like us to examine something difficult.

Sexual assault.

@DawnButlerBrent @KieranMullanUK @Rebecca_SPaul @YasminQureshiMP @JessBrownFuller @JoePJRobertson @NJ_Timothy @KarlTurnerMP If you’d like to do the same depressing walk-through exercise with Death by Careless Driving then it’s below.

I’d do more examples but it’s all too dismal to contemplate.

@mynameisgill Do the nipple tassles come with it or do you pay extra? Deal off if extra 😂😂

[Rob Rinder @RobbieRinder]

I’ve written to every Member of Parliament today.

Proposals before Parliament would remove jury trials from offences carrying up to three years in prison.

Freedoms rarely vanish overnight. They are chipped away in the name of efficiency.

Juries did not cause the crisis in our courts. Removing them will not fix it.

When the state seeks to take someone’s liberty for serious offences, the judgment of ordinary citizens should never be optional.

This is close to becoming law.

Please read the letter. Contact your MP now.

@mynameisgill Loved this programme

[The Bar Council @thebarcouncil]

Barristers, solicitors, retired judges, and other legal professionals - add your name to our open letter to the Prime Minister to oppose the government's plan to restrict jury trials.

Sign your name ➡️ https://t.co/O0vG7a9APR

The letter outlines our opposition to the plans and calls for greater investment and focus on the measures we know will make a difference now, including many of the ideas outlined in Part 2 of Sir Brian Leveson’s review.

The letter is supported by the Criminal Bar Association and all 6 circuit leaders.

Thank you for your support.

@mynameisgill But I don’t wanna grow up

[corpcriminallawcaz @FergusonLegal]

@Joanna__Hardy Ah yes… followed by when someone takes your kid to the kitchen for a drink and they point out the ‘mummy juice cupboard’ in it.

[corpcriminallawcaz @FergusonLegal]

@CostaCoffee We didn’t have time as had to catch our flight.

[corpcriminallawcaz @FergusonLegal]

@CostaCoffee this is supposed to be a hot chocolate?! Where’s the chocolate…. It’s all froth, barely any chocolate and tastes like milk. Disappointed son!

[corpcriminallawcaz @FergusonLegal]

@taranoodle No need to ask… just pour yourself one.

[corpcriminallawcaz @FergusonLegal]

@mynameisgill Ooo like your style 🍸

[corpcriminallawcaz @FergusonLegal]
