Don’t kick ordinary people out of courtrooms @DavidLammy! Juries bring fairness, lived experience and protect us from prejudice, scrapping them won’t fix our failing justice system. Sign the petition to save our juries now: 38d.gs/yirg
Drop plans to scrap jury trials and replace them with a judge-only process. We must keep justice in the people's hands.
