CND, Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott, any transport mode but planes and cars.
literally the money spent on one road scheme - The Lower Thames Crossing - could transform the court estate, and investment in criminal legal aid, and prisoner transport.

restricting jury trials doesn’t address the catastrophic state of the criminal justice system; its pretending to deal with a part of the state that lacked investment pre-2010 too, and then got much much worse.

1. The defendant not being produced at court from prison. 🚚

A classic. It happens due to the private contractors simply not bothering, knowing that the contracts negotiated by government include no meaningful penalty for failure.

Trials every day in every court are affected.

i think the chaos in the party system is clearly pre-dating electoral reform - perhaps it would always have been thus for reform at westminster and municipal level. agree, without electoral reform its a mess, but i maintain if it wasn’t this it would be another messy project. so i roll with it.

its not so much pinning hopes [though hope is necessary], its the political reality that there has to be an electoral space here. whether it works out well is another matter, but it has a better chance [in Eng] than anything for a 100 years I’d say.

Paris figures are 11% mode share but that is the City area. Central London is actually higher I reckon at about 16%. When talking about Paris v London there's a real risk of comparing Greater London Vs Paris central.
