Trial by jury is now “gaming the system” why are you clapping for fascism Pippa? And also you mean DEFENDANTS.
It comes after our @jessicaelgot.bsky.social revealed that criminals will be stopped from “gaming the system” by choosing trial by jury to increase chances of proceedings collapsing - and that govt was planning radical changes to limit jury trials by next election.

Travel advisory remains in effect

Listen to your American friends
Who live here everyday
If you value your life or freedom
Stay the fuck away
From the U.S. of A.
And if you're here already
It's not safe to stay.

This again. So, here's the thing about Motability: it's a ripoff. They have so much money in their coffers they could give every disabled person a car for free - £2.6Billion in reserves.

That we gave them, from our allowance.

Motability Operations stays silent over how much high street banks benefit from disabled people’s car scheme
The company that runs Motability has repeatedly refused to say how much money the four high street banks that own the business are making from the £7 billion-a-year disabled people’s vehicle leasin…

The Tories pulled this in 2012, BMWs were already trimmed out, as was Range Rover, Jaguar, and some of the other higher end cars.

Again, we PAY for these premiums ourselves. Nobody hands it over.

The allowance for a Motability vehicle is NOT means-tested, but ofc they play in everyone's faces.

It is simply because the Mail thinks disabled people shouldn’t be seen in “nice” cars there is no economic justification for it

So they pay a top-up to get a 'premium' car but that option's being taken away anyway?
'Premium' cars like BMW and Mercedes cut from Motability scheme
Motability says it will provide vehicles that meet disabled peoples' needs and are safe and affordable.

Labour party today:
- Disabled people can’t drive Audis, BMWs and Mercedes on Motability. No to £25k Audis but £36k Nissans are fine
- Discredited PFI to return for funding NHS projects
- Trial by jury to be axed except for most serious cases

That’s just today

Watching the only chance I'll get to drive get rug pulled away as I wait (nearly a year!) for my PIP reassessment. It'll start with the "luxury" cars. Then Timms will limit eligibility further....

I feel like Indiana Jones sliding under a door but instead of grabbing my hat I'll just get crushed 💀

No fascism isn't fascism unless it's in the past or elsewhere. When centrist implement the destruction of fundamental pillars of democracy (right to protest, local democracy, trial by jury) it's called pragmatism or something.

You know for a fact they're only doing this because juries are routinely finding anti-genocide and climate change protestors innocent.
Bit of a test case here for “is liberalism still a real thing, or is it just a political version of a collection of Labubus that you show off to your friends” IMO.
