Will you join me in making this pledge?

They cannot scrap juries unless we as a profession are complicit.

We have the right to say no.

Barristers, solicitors, paralegals and caseworkers up and down the land.

Without us they have no Lammy Diplock Courts.

Make your voice heard.

First, the Omani FM came out and revealed that there was a deal on the table that met Trump's demands, but that he instead chose war.

And now, it is revealed that the British National Security Advisor was also part of the talks, and he too attests to the fact that A) there was no imminent threat from Iran, B) Trump could have gotten a surprisingly good deal if he stuck to diplomacy.

But the perhaps most damning quote in the story comes at the end, attributed to an unnamed diplomat:

“We regarded Witkoff and Kushner as Israeli assets that dragged a president into a war he wants to get out of.”

🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly considering banning major U.S. media outlets and pursuing treason charges over “fake” footage of Iran striking U.S. ships.

Both The New York Times and New York Post confirm that the deadly Iranian attack on the U.S. ship is real.

So let me get this straight. FIFA is threatening to penalize Iran for not coming to the world cup in the United States, which just bombed the hell out of them and this is the same FIFA that gave the president of the country that bombed them a peace prize.

USA finally admits it did kill 175 people, mainly children, in girls’ school https://t.co/VtgOMmqXuR it used faulty and out of date targeting information to send two tomahawk missiles, 40 minutes apart, the second to kill survivors and those helping them

NEW GAZA | 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Jared Kushner in Davos unveiled the plan for New Gaza. The rubble is already being cleared, the demolitions have begun - all to make way for skyscrapers, hotels, and data centers, turning the ruins of the city into a playground for investors.

“We’ve already started clearing rubble, demolishing buildings,” he says, speaking of tens of thousands killed and hundreds of thousands of homes destroyed as if it were a construction site. Israel, together with the Trump administration, has prepared the ground for the investment. 180 skyscrapers, hotels, data centers, “New Rafah” in 2-3 years.

Palestinians? Irrelevant. No consultations, no property rights, no return to their homes.

Applause in Davos.

The “troublemakers” being the thousands of experts expressing concern that the government is removing the right to jury trial for thousands of people, with no evidence, on a campaign of misinformation.

The conduct of this government is shameful.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 Two MAJOR bombshells in 30 minutes.

CBS News: The Trump administration concealed the true extent of Iran’s strike on a US base in Kuwait. Dozens of service members suffered severe injuries. 30 remain hospitalized right now.

They hid it.

The New York Times: A US military investigation has concluded the United States was responsible for the strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran.

165 girls. Ages 7 to 12.

Trump said the Tomahawk was “very generic.”

Trump said Iran bombed its own school.
Trump said he’s “willing to live with” whatever the report shows.

The report shows it was us.

And while Trump was lying about dead children, his administration was hiding dozens of wounded American service members from their own families and the American public.

Concealing American casualties.
Lying about dead Iranian children.
Blocking terror warnings to law enforcement.

Sealing the Epstein files.

This is a pattern.

Private contractors fail to produce prisoners at court on time *EVERY SINGLE DAY*. It causes hours and hours of delays.

Yet the Ministry of Justice spins the statistics to mask the problem.
