Despite being human rights zealots, David Lammy and Keir Starmer are politicising the courts with plans to remove the right to trial by a jury of our peers. This is the most important human right we have.

Without jury trials, defendants will be subject to a form of two tier justice that is akin to George Orwells 1984. It cannot be allowed.

This is the greatest attack on British democracy in history. It is anti-British and will also cost the taxpayer in legal challenges.
