The world's wealthy liberal democracies looked the other way on FIFA's corruption for years because they didn't think corruption in sports was a big deal or worth addressing, and now find themselves looking at FIFA as a powerful, increasingly-integrated part of the far-right anti-democracy movement.

Abolishing the right to trial by jury is dangerous and fundamentally unnecessary. The system is broken due to years of neglect and chronic underfunding, not the right to be tried by 12 of your peers.

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency.
The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries.
Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

If the cost of living crisis won’t move this government, maybe the collapse of their climate programme will.
After 35 years of privatisation:
- No new major water reservoirs built
- 3bn litres lost to leaks every day
- £85bn taken in dividends.
Public ownership is the only credible fix.

It is *incredibly* weak, and perhaps the biggest compliment really is just how little they have to accuse us of. But it also promotes the Trans Mission concert – to which you should buy tickets!

It might have something to do with the fact that almost every government this century was elected on a minority of the vote.

The fact that every single PM this century has been more unpopular than the previous one shows that the electorate is impossible to please. We are simply predisposed to automatically hate every government no matter what. I don't know how that's sustainable long-term.

Juries are not the issue with the justice system. Chronic underfunding by the last government, continued by the current one, is.

Tax breaks for the rich, while everyone else suffers. This government needs to grow a back bone.
I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.
That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

The “toxic and chaotic culture” inside Boris Johnson’s Downing St was behind the UK’s “too little, too late” response to Covid-19, with Johnson singled out for particular blame. Inquiry chair Baroness Hallett said poor decisions by him, his ministers and officials cost tens of thousands of lives.
