Labour scraps jury trial curbs as Tory conference opens
Original: Conservatives claim 'major victory' as Tory conference begins after Labour scraps plans to curb jury trials - UK politic
Labour has dropped plans to limit the right to jury trials, prompting Conservatives to declare a 'major victory' as their party conference gets under way with leader Kemi Badenoch front and centre. The retreat hands the Tories a talking point on law and justice just as their conference begins, while Labour faces criticism for backing down on court reform.
Why now: The policy reversal landed just as the Conservative conference opened, giving the opposition a headline win to highlight.
