Court delays have left complainants and defendants in limbo for too long, yes.
There is not a shred of published evidence - not a scrap of paper - to show that removing juries from serious criminal trials will reduce delays.
The @MoJGovUK have got nothing at all.
As the @victimscomm said on @channel4news last night, court delays have left victims in horrifying limbo for too long.
Our reforms will reduce delays and speed up justice for victims.

This video is brilliant.
Seems a total slam dunk that owners of private jets should pay fuel duties.
Doesn't it?
The answer is annoying.

@easyJet Please explain why you tried to deny my husband and his guide dog boarding at Bristol airport tonight over documentation for his dog. We were travelling into Newcastle airport in the UK. A guide dog harness is identification. He does not need a pet passport

It renders *every* fare non-refundable - other than the unaffordable megabucks Anytime. No passenger EVER welcomed flushing up to £250 down the drain if their plans changed.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is blaming the Vauxhall job losses on the electric vehicle mandate introduced by Tory business secretary Kemi Badenoch. I wonder if the two of them are related?

As someone who had a DNR without my consent during critical illness I know there are many pressures of coercion. It was expected a DNR was acceptable. Thankfully I was surrounded by loving friends who demanded it was removed. And here I am...

Coercion in the context of assisted dying is when someone is pressured or controlled into ending their life:
This is an extremely important issue that MP’s must consider carefully before they vote on 29th November

So frustrating to be asked to leave a shop because they say “no dogs allowed” even though I explain that Sam is a guide dog.
This happened again to us this afternoon. It is illegal, however it still happens quite often and nothing js ever really done about it

Responding to UK PM Keir Starmer at #COP29:
'The gov deserves credit for being the first G7 economy to outline its new, strengthened, emissions reduction target...Emissions reductions however are only one side of the coin.'
🗣️The UK must deliver on public climate finance.
ALT Quote reads: Emissions reductions however are only one side of the coin. The other is climate finance and on that, the UK is not yet delivering. If the UK really wants to claim the mantle of a climate leader, it needs to deliver on public finance to support the ongoing efforts of vulnerable countries to adapt to climate change, and to ensure the energy transition is fully funded."

What troubles me most about @kimleadbeater’s bill is that it places a legal obligation on the Secretary of State to ensure that assisted dying is available to patients for whom he’s under no such duty to provide adequate palliative care. 🧵 bills.parliament.uk/bills/37…

Hi @Fortnums 👋 as you’re aware, the Olympic and Paralympic medalists were invited to Buckingham Palace yesterday. It would be nice to understand why you hosted an after party for the Olympic medalists but made the decision not to invite the Paralympic medalists? Why? 😅😅

1. Anti-HS2 activists demand expensive thing for no reason.
2. Anti-HS2 activists complain HS2 costs have gone up.
A tale as old as the UK trying to fix its broken rail network with new lines to increase capacity.
HS2 was forced to spend £100m building a bat tunnel despite the fact there's "no evidence, by the way, that high speed trains interfere with bats."
