Thank you to Kirsty Brimelow KC (Chair of the Bar Council) for taking the time to talk to Hetty Summerhayes and Ryan Murray at the Bar Council’s Pupillage Fair in London yesterday.

There comes a stage where the criminal justice system has been cut to the bone and we all continue propping it up and pretending. We think that’s noble but maybe it’s…not? Maybe it’s time to say:
‘If you care about this system, we need to fund it’.

Well done to all the 1000s running or supporting in the 10k or half marathon in Plymouth today. A great event. Hopefully the weather will be kinder to you than last year. Good luck to all the @devonbarrister runners.

There is no evidence that limiting the right to a jury trial will bring down the Crown Court backlog.
In fact, new data has shown that tried and tested, targeted initiatives are working to bring down the backlog already.
Removing the cap on the number of days that judges can sit, for example, has "significantly" reduced the backlog in areas in England and Wales.
The government should focus on what will work rather than waste time and resource on an unnecessary change to jury trials.

Beware rumours of compromise regarding the restriction of jury trials if Starmer is politically wounded or politically finished tomorrow.
It isn’t enough to compromise on judge-alone trials. It’s not nearly enough.
It was never the real issue 👇🏼
