They say the proposal is to make some trials currently conducted by a jury judge-only.
Also known as abolishing the jury.
Have another source, why not:

The majority of crime falls within the remit of < 3 year sentencing, so the majority of trials would have trial by jury removed. Your reading of what is happening is so pedantic as to be outwith the realm of reasonable understanding.
For the unaware:
Support for Corbyn, who entered the race as a dark horse candidate,[2] and the release of opinion polls which showed him leading the race, led to high-profile interventions by a number of prominent Labour figures including Gordon Brown,[3] Tony Blair,[4] Jack Straw,[5] David Miliband,[6] and Alastair Campbell, among others,[7] many of whom argued that Corbyn’s election as leader would leave the party unelectable.
Despite these interventions, Corbyn was elected in the first round receiving 59.5% of the votes, winning in all three sections of the ballot. Less than a year later, a leadership challenge saw another leadership election, where Corbyn again won, with an increased share of the vote.

Under his tenure:
He’s a wet blanket who’s incapable of commanding a cabinet, and spends more time making stupid TikToks like he’s on the campaign trail than doing anything of substance. His actions, cabinet, and command of that cabinet, contradict everything he says he stands for.
Fuck off Jeremy Cunt. You can’t proselytise about what need be done when you were in the job for years that had the ability to do what needed done, and did nothing anywhere near the sort.
the longest-serving Health Secretary in British political history
He oversaw decreased spending as percentage of GDP on the National Health Service compared to the previous government and hugely increased waiting times for patients.[1] Healthcare costs always increase faster than GDP. He was criticised for controversial reforms, manipulating figures and increased privatisation. He implemented policies working towards a seven-day NHS and oversaw the imposition of a controversial new junior doctors’ contract in England, after the failure of negotiations during a dispute in which junior doctors undertook industrial action.

The
anti‐Semitefascist has chosen hate because hate is a faith; at the outset he has chosen to devaluate words and reasons. How entirely at ease he feels as a result. How futile and frivolous discussions about the rights ofthe Jewothers appear to him. He has placed himself on other ground from the beginning. If out of courtesy he consents for a moment to defend his point of view, he lends himself but does not give himself. He tries simply to project his intuitive certainty onto the plane of discourse…
…Never believe that
anti‐ Semitesfascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. Theanti‐Semitesfascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

Fascists don’t care about words or reasoning. They spread hate, discrimination, and lies and when challenged spout more lies to justify it. Even if presented with cold hard, unrefutable, facts.
When words, debate, and diplomacy can no longer prevent the calls to violence, the bigotry, the intolerance, then there is but one option; to speak the language they do understand.
The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.
404 error, they’ve removed the story
Edit: and it’s back!
Analysis commissioned by Amnesty determined that the Times and Sunday Times, the Telegraph, the Sun and the Guardian published a combined 16,913 articles on trans-related topics between January 2020 and April 2025, an average of around nine per day. The Times and Sunday Times had the most with an average of 83.5 articles per month. The report noted the coverage was “entirely disproportionate” to the number of trans people in the UK, who, according to the 2021 Census, make up 0.5% of the population.
Even if we’re generous and say “yeah but that’s spread over 4 papers!” that’s still 2 stories, per paper, per day, for 4 1/4 years. Dedicated to a tiny tiny percentage of the population. Insanity and cruelty.
Is that why he’s pushing for more money for the MoD?..
It’s rank hypocrisy to complain that there’s vast wastage and inefficiencies, and then claim that you need more money.
Trio of war hawks demand more money for their pals, despite 2.5% of GDP being spent on defense. With increases to 3% already planned, plus membership of NATO and a European defense pact.

Added sugars provide no nutritional benefit, but are a source of excess calories that can lead to overweight and increased disease risk.[2][3][61][62]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar#Health_effects
Natural sugars tend to be mixed with fibres, starches, and vitamins. These slow the process of digestion, reducing a glucose spike within the bloodstream, and providing other nutrients beyond just raw calories.
Added sugars provide none of these benefits.
Edit: lmfao at your edit to make my comment read as nonsense. That’s the old fashioned trolling I used to know and love!
You won’t hear it from the users here obviously
Are you not a user here? Are you a figment of my imagination?
This place may be the right fit for some, but a lot of people are here because they don’t fit in elsewhere.
Ah, okay, so is that why you’re here? Nobody likes or wants you because you’re an asshole, so you thought you’d come and be an asshole over here instead?
Some even claim that it’s the way they like it, but niche communities fail while copies of reddit communities are the only ones with engagement.
This community has engagement. Is it a copy of a Reddit community?
Lemmy/PieFed and Mastodon will probably carve out a tiny base of users over the next few years, but it’s doubtful that they will ever be mainstream.
Is that the goal of the Fediverse?
I miss when trolls used to put effort into their posts.
We have a shortage of doctors partially because they’re often fighting fires with short term solutions. Providing reactive medicine instead of preventative. Treating symptoms instead of underlying root causes.
I’ll give an example; a common ailment for women is iron deficiency. A shit side effect of losing a lot of blood once a month. To cure this, many doctors will prescribe iron tablets. Not enough iron? Take iron tablets! Seems logical enough, yeah?
The problem with iron tablets is they fuck up your stomach. They’re difficult to digest, you get painful jet black shits, and never quite feel right while taking them. They also have a shit absorption rate. Only a fraction of the iron in the tablet is actually absorbed by the body. And they take weeks to bring you back to sufficient iron levels.
If instead there was a concerted effort to educate women to include spinach, varied beans and legumes, tofu, figs, dates, broccoli, pistachios, etc. Which foods are rich in iron, into their daily diet, then the amount requiring prescription iron tablets reduces significantly because they’re getting iron in their diet every day.
But many aren’t taught these things. They’re taught if you start feeling shit, come to the doctor, we’ll take a blood test and prescribe you some tablets that will take weeks to help, and make you feel like shit the whole time you’re taking them.
Repeat the process again in 6-12 months when your iron levels inevitably drop again because the root cause wasn’t fixed.
This is what I described earlier as a “bad experience” with professional medicine. And is part of why there’s a doctor shortage, because many aren’t fixing root causes but immediate symptoms instead. Creating a larger demand than there is supply of doctors.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a doctor is.
A medical doctor… …is a health professional who practices medicine. Medicine aims to promote, maintain or restore health through the study, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental conditions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_doctor
In the modern era that has most often been practiced via chemistry’s interaction with biology. Or as you put it, a pill. But prescribing pills is not their job, it’s just a function of it. Their job is to ensure good health and often that is best done via other means than chemistry. Chemistry is just the first port of call for many doctors because that’s one of the main things they’re taught and it’s a simple solution to a complex problem. But not always the best solution.
A doctors job is to be your dietician or personal trainer if that’s the best course of action. Obviously, not literally, they’ll give advice or refer you to others. But that’s the idea.
Many people do need a doctor to tell them to eat better or exercise. Nutrition is complicated. Many don’t know what contains carbs, proteins, or fat. Not to mention micronutrients. And then you’ve got to have the time, energy, knowledge, and finances to buy and prepare this healthier food. The time and energy to exercise after working 40h a week, commuting 5-10 hours a week, performing household chores, and potentially raising children.
The simple solution of pills has had many negative effects for people, so now they’re looking elsewhere. If people were happy and satisfied with their medical experiences they wouldn’t listen to influencers on TikTok, but they do. And it’s not because TikTok has some magical hypnotic brainrot function, people are dissatisfied and looking for alternative solutions. TikTok says it has the answers, so they give it a try.
For the vast majority of people, no. For every single one of them, trial by jury is gone. It has been abolished for them.
And then, how long do you think until the world of political spin pushes for the removal of that right for murderers, rapists, terrorists, etc? How many will be willing to stick their neck out to defend those people’s right to a trial by jury?
