00:00And his past is catching up with him because the best opponent of the Justice
00:05Secretary's plans to curb jury trials is the Justice Secretary himself. In 2020 he
00:13said criminal trials without juries are a bad idea. You don't fix the backlog
00:22with trials that are widely perceived as unfair. In 2017 in his report into
00:31prejudice in the criminal justice system he found juries and I quote act as a
00:36filter for prejudice. But now he's become Justice Secretary he's scrapping the very
00:43institution he wants lauded. Which is it? Will the real David Lammy please stand up?
