@alistrathern You really need to read this as you voted to reduce trial by Jury (aka Govt power grab)

@Frances_Coppola @shanaka86 @pippaliciousj I believe it may do in some cases for example providing a valid NI number is a mandatory requirement for opening or paying into an Individual Savings Account (ISA) I think.

@shanaka86 @pippaliciousj UK banks don't hold NI numbers.

BREAKING: The Word “Glitch” Is Doing the Heaviest Lifting in British Banking Today This morning, customers of Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland opened their banking apps and found themselves staring at the complete financial lives of total strangers. Transaction histories. Account numbers. Sort codes. National Insurance numbers. DWP benefit payments. English wages appearing in Scottish accounts. Pub tabs in Newcastle showing up in Wales. One Bank of Scotland customer cycled through six different people’s full account details in twenty minutes, each refresh serving a new stranger’s financial identity like a slot machine of personal data. The banks called it a “technical glitch” and told customers not to worry. Halifax’s official response on X was to suggest logging out and back in. Lloyds asked users to “bear with them.” Bank of Scotland said they were “investigating.” Let me translate this from institutional euphemism into plain language. A banking group serving over 26 million customers had a backend failure that served authenticated financial data, including government-issued identity numbers, to random sessions. In any jurisdiction with functioning data protection enforcement, this is not a glitch. This is a reportable data exposure event under UK GDPR. The Information Commissioner’s Office requires notification within 72 hours of any breach involving personal data that poses a risk to individuals’ rights. National Insurance numbers are the skeleton key to identity fraud in Britain. They unlock tax records, benefit claims, credit applications, and pension access. Every single NI number that appeared on a stranger’s screen this morning is now a compromised credential, regardless of whether the display bug has been “quickly resolved.” The precedent is instructive. In April 2018, TSB suffered a similar failure during an IT migration from the same parent infrastructure. Lloyds Banking Group’s systems. Customers could see other people’s accounts, access funds that were not theirs, and were locked out for months. The FCA and PRA fined TSB £48.65 million. Over 225,000 complaints were filed. £32.7 million in redress was paid. The CEO was forced out. And that failure originated in a planned migration with known risk parameters. This morning’s incident at Lloyds Banking Group was not a planned migration. It was a spontaneous failure in production systems that randomly distributed live financial identities to authenticated but unrelated sessions. The fact that it was brief does not reduce the severity. It increases it. A planned migration that goes wrong reveals poor execution. A production system that spontaneously begins serving random customer data to random sessions reveals something about the underlying architecture that no amount of “quickly resolved” can address. Every customer who saw a stranger’s NI number this morning received proof that the verification promise underpinning digital banking, the promise that authentication equals isolation, failed silently and completely. The banks say your account is safe. What they mean is the display error has been corrected. These are not the same statement. The question is not whether it was fixed. The question is whether anyone took screenshots during those twenty minutes. And whether the ICO and FCA will treat this as what it is.

@TrisOsborneMP @Joanna__Hardy In Canada a constitutional change like this requires a super majority to pass or even unanimity in Canada’s Constitution Act, 1982.Not a simple majority of 1 vote!

@Joanna__Hardy In Canada and other jurisdictions the thresholds are five years; so the providence and best practice of other British-based legal systems are also worthy of comment. New Zealand also looked at similar reforms of threshold changes.

I can not look victims of crime in the eye in constituency surgeries with court waiting times of 3-4 years for justice to be delivered. Why I back Court Reforms, investment in more court days and better buildings and processes.

@crimlawuk Across the world counties with written constitutions usually need a super majority for the constitution to be changed like the Govt wants.Based on yesterday vote this would not have been reached & the bill would of failed! This is a power grab by Govt & a failure of our system!

Absolutely. This is about making sure cases are heard in the most appropriate place, protecting Jury trials for the cases that need them.

@WestminsterWAG ‘Let us be the parliament who allowed people to be sent to prison for three years without the verdict of a jury of their peers’ What a vote winner.

No

@DanNeidle And after #PMQs what a shocker...Not!

The Government’s Mandelson papers out today It’s a test for open government. Will they be easily searchable? Will the whole set be available so journalists/researchers can analyse themselves? Or will it be stitched up like a kipper? Crap search & no downloads? Place your bets

@alistrathern Did you read this before voting yes for the bill to proceed?

@alistrathern I might not agree with Mr Cox politics but I recognise his expertise! So why don't you as you voted yes for this bill to move forward?

@SaulStaniforth Across the world counties with written constitutions usually need a super majority for the constitution to be changes like the Govt wants.Based on the vote this would not have been reached & the bill would of failed! This is a power grab by the Govt & a failure of our system!

Only 10 LabMPs voted against the 2nd reading tonight. Shame on those who've been loudly protesting their opposition but then abstained I'm old enough to remember LabMPs abstaining on the 2nd reading of the Tories welfare bill in 2015. The same pathetic excuses were used then too

@VeraBaird x.com/BarristerSecre…

No. this small, vital tweak is one of many over years, to safeguard juries to where the public interest needs them. Defendants in small cases should not push into the jury queue, so rapes; murders; serious assault cases can't be heard for yrs, to the great harm of victims

NEW: MPs have voted to allow the courts and tribunals bill to progress to next stage by 304 votes to 203, majority 101. Justice secretary David Lammy argued the bill, which curbs access to jury trials in England & Wales, would help reduce backlogs at crown courts. But the reforms still face opposition from some Labour MPs, with 10 rebelling to vote against the bill while 90 abstained - including arch critic Karl Turner - or didn't vote for other reasons.

Wow. According to the government those who oppose the undermining and restriction of a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy are “trouble-makers”. The battle to stop this out of control Prime Ministers shameful act of constitutional vandalism is just beginning

@DannyShawNews @LBC @VeraBaird It's a power grab by the Govt from the people!

On @LBC @VeraBaird - a barrister, ex-Solicitor General, ex-Police & Crime Commissioner, ex-Victims' Commissioner & current chair of Criminal Cases Review Commission - speaks in support of Govt reforms to cut court backlogs. She is right. Arguments against have been "hyped".

@PeterStefanovi2 It's a power grab from the people!

Labour MPs, whipped by the Prime Minister, have tonight voted to undermine and restrict a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy - the right to trial by jury. It’s a shameful act of constitutional vandalism which the PM has no mandate for. His government has not produced a shred of credible evidence to support its claim it’s needed to reduce the courts backlog - in fact the Institute for Government has found the plan to replace jury trials with judge-only trials would save less than 2% of total Crown Court time. There is still time to stop this. The battle is just beginning

@alistrathern I believe that this may apply to you and can only assume you are clearly ill informed.Not acceptable. You are note the Govt sheep but our representative. This is a power grab by the Govt from the people.

@Anna_Soubry We the people share judging people with the courts.This is a power grab by Starmer!

Opposition to the Govt plans to cut jury trials goes across the normal political divide. That should tell Labour backbenchers a lot! They are being lied to. Cutting jury trials will NOT cut the backlog.

@Eyeswideopen69 @BenGrahamStocks Dear Ben, It hasn't been found! Its an update of an estimate!!!!

@BenGrahamStocks It’s not our oil you stupid cunt. Thatcher privatised North Sea oil in the eighties. Jesus Christ, read a fucking book!

1.1 billion extra barrels of oil found in the North Sea. That’s over £1 trillion in reserves under our feet. Yet, under ‘net zero’ policies, we’re buying oil and gas from Norway while prices soar at home. How many more trillions will we hand abroad before we finally tap our own resources?
