NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

This is an Art Attack.

A new newsletter discussing art at the end of the world, trench and plague art, memento mori, the danger of a frozen culture, and reading too much into the 28 Years Later sequels.

Image is a screenshot of a reasoned amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill. It is signed by  SiΓ’n Berry, Hannah Spencer, Carla Denyer, Dr Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay.

It reads: That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Courts and Tribunals Bill because it is an inadequate and dangerous response to the challenges faced by the courts; it does not provide the correct solutions to the chronic backlog of cases in the Crown Court; it would not address the long-term underfunding that has led to the degradation of court systems, infrastructure and buildings; it would limit the crucial civil liberty and constitutional protection of trial by a jury of one’s own peers by removing defendants’ right to elect the Crown Court for all triable either-way offences; this change would cover a range of protest-related offences, and because protest rights and free speech, which act as safeguards against authoritarianism, have already been eroded by this Government and should not be limited further; jury trials build public trust and confidence in the courts and act as a space of shared civic responsibility that builds social cohesion; more effective interventions could be implemented that do not roll back fundamental rights, including expanding the use of β€˜blitz courts’, increasing the number of sitting days, removing from the system cases that are no longer in the public interest to prosecute, increasing investment in legal aid, improving court case management technology, and bringing in more efficient processes to ensure defendants are brought to court and to the dock on time; and removing rights to judgment by one’s own peers may have the unintended consequence of increasing court backlogs through a rise in appeals.

🚨We have tabled an amendment to reject the Government’s sinister attempt to remove jury trials including for many protest related offences.

Our civil liberties have already been eroded by this Govt and should not be limited any further.

Greens are standing up against Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Yeah, it's like he and Sarah Jane have landed on a parallel earth, or in the universe of the 90s books. It's more brutal and generally nasty too, John Challis is a proper nasty seventies thug here.
