Labour scraps jury trial curb as Tories claim victory
Original: Conservatives claim 'major victory' as Tory conference begins after Labour scraps plans to curb jury trials - UK politic
Labour has dropped plans to restrict jury trials in England and Wales, prompting Conservatives to declare a 'major victory' as their party conference gets under way with Kemi Badenoch and James Cleverly among the speakers. The reversal hands the Tories a talking point heading into conference season, while Labour faces questions over its retreat on justice reform. The Green Party is also in the news amid a separate controversy over Zionism remarks.
Why now: The policy U-turn coincides with the start of the Conservative Party conference, giving the opposition a convenient win to highlight.
