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.
📈Today, 9 April 2026, 106 out of the 516 Crown courtrooms in England & Wales will not be sitting. That's 21% of them. #courtstats #CS09042026 courtstats.co.uk

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. 🪡 🧵

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.
Hello, there 👋 Have you heard David Lammy MP and Sarah Sackman MP talking about people stealing bottles of whisky and swiping mobile telephones as examples of people who should not get jury trials? Well. I’d like to tell you a story. 🪡 🧵

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.

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 ➡️ bit.ly/4kMn9DX 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. #JusticeNeedsJuries

I want to tell you something wonderful that happened during Lockdowns. In March 2021 I was going through a hard time. I sat on my yoga mat and cried my eyes out. Only after I noted I was sat by the window as the afternoon fell with the light on. I thought 1/n

Of course @trussliz is attacking lawyers for upholding the rule of law. After all, she was the pusillanimous Lord Chancellor who refused to defend judges when they were being threatened for daring to rule against the government.
Liz Truss says undocumented migrants “get off the plane and then get on the phone to their lawyer and we're not able to persuade them to leave the country. “So it's fixing that problem is what's important to me.”

How to reach customers with podcasts.👇
I help businesses and business people reach their audience with podcasts. Often, customers say to me, "No-one will want to listen to a podcast about my work - it's boring!" That's when you want to sell the sizzle, not the sausage. winbizpod.com/my-business-is…

We see some terrible nonsense on websites. Please don’t do it!
If your cheap SEO agency produces content that is rambling and nonsensical, you risk alienating any potential customers you attract to your website hubs.li/H0PrT3q0 #SEO #digitalmarketingagency
