123 out of 516 Crown Courtrooms in England and Wales are sitting empty today — that’s 24%. Yet @DavidLammy claims the only way to cut the 80,000-case backlog is to curb our ancient right to trial by jury. There is no credible evidence for this. A report by the Institute for Government shows it would save just 2% of Crown Court time — not the 20% claimed. It’s obvious: jury trials aren’t the problem. Our courts simply aren’t sitting. Another reason why victims aren’t getting timely justice is the Justice Secretary’s failure to do his job. #SaveJuryTrials
