Juries are not perfect.
Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.
But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.
They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.
Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power.
Mullin: “This is war.”
Raju: “You concede this is war?”
Mullin: “We haven’t declared war.”
Reporter: “You just said it’s a war.”
Mullin: *stammer
Davey is not doing himself any favours. He knows full well Starmer can make no such guarantee.
Opportunism in a time of crisis isn't a good look. Button it, Ed.
this is frankly one of the most bonkers 60 seconds in Fox & Friends history -- Lawrence Jones chastising Democrats for hurting Trump by commenting on realty immediately followed by Brian Kilmeade admonishing tanker captains to "show some guts and go through that Strait." Incredible stuff.
The Republican Party:
🇺🇸 All of that talking Britain down and pandering to the man in the White House to just be ignored...
during the oil/gas crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraime it was striking how some right-wingers tried to gaslight the public into believing the *biggest* problem with their soaring bills (at the time) was green levies rather than the oil/gas price going through the roof
This dishonest attack went down well in the sixth form common room.
Fascinating how much she wants this to be true
Trump blames Iran for strike that killed school girls - as US investigators point to American bomb
There are about 300 people in the UK who think this war is a good idea, and they are all either columnists or MPs.
Satire really is impossible in the US now
If anybody thinks that these people are going to give up power this November or in ‘28 then I have a bridge to sell you.
Another week ends with our nations journalists continuing to wilfully ignore Trump’s dementia.
The Mail on Sunday* is reporting that "an increasingly confident" Badenoch is considering a Shadow Cabinet reshuffle. "Young MPs will be promoted to energise the battered Tory brand based on social media clicks"
That'll work.
*Dont judge me, the paper is a gift from a neighbour.

When Russian Agent Trump was asked about Russian intelligence assistance to Iran, this is what he said to the reporter: “your question was "stupid."
Of course Trump won’t mind Russia killing Americans

Glasman has realised that the right wing media will throw money and exposure at right wing people who say they are left wing but proclaim that everything the left says and does is wrong. He's a grifting reactionary, a Yawnmeister.
No, not clueless at all. Trump is doing it willingly and knowingly. A compromised, criminal president.
Note to the UK: this is what the special relationship looks like.
Russia murdered a child and five adults overnight
Labour have, thus far, utterly failed to protect our democracy.
Just detailing your war plans live for all the world to see.
From the party that claimed to be concerned about Hillary Clinton having a private email server.
Oh piss off you little Quisling.
Combining the British people’s love and respect for Kemi Badenoch with their enthusiasm about Donald Trump and his Iran war: no party is doing it like them right now
