A fierce House of Commons debate erupted when MP Karl Turner challenged Justice Secretary David Lammy's controversial plan to introduce 'swift courts' where judges alone would handle lower-tier crimes, arguing this 'ludicrous' proposal would scrap centuries-old jury trials rooted in the Magna Carta; Turner highlighted widespread opposition from the Mayors of London and Manchester, Scottish Labour leadership, and the former Welsh First Minister, while Lammy defended the reforms as necessary to address the record court backlog and provide timely justice for victims.

Let's roll the tape. Colturner.
Speaker.
It must be absolutely exhausting holding on to an idea that only he, the Justice Secretary, still pretends is a good one.
The Mayor of London is opposed to these changes and has tried to persuade him to bin it.
The Mayor of Manchester is opposed to this ludicrous idea.
The leader of Scottish Labour was opposed to this idea and it doesn't even involve Scotland. The former Welsh First Minister was apparently opposed to it.
When is he going to let his ego get out the way and bin this ludicrous idea of curtailing jury trials?
Not long longer No longer now. The The honorable The honorable makes his point with real force.
It's embarrassing. He, however, never, ever talks about victims and has not explained how we should bring down the backlog.
Um And the And the true And the truth is, we are determined to bring down the backlog. And that is why >> Order. Order. Order. Order.
