Jon, Ed & Mark are joined by Flora Page KC, a leading barrister who represented wrongly accused subpostmasters in the Post Office Horizon IT scandal to talk about the future of juries - the beating heart of the UK criminal justice system, that the Government seems hellbent on destroying, deliberately. A challenge beyond politics, the right to a trial by a diverse group of your peers is an eight hundred year old tradition going back to Magna Carta, and provides the last defence against State-led authoritarianism and tyranny.

An essential listen for anyone who cares about justice, we explore why axing juries won't cut the scandalous 80,000 cases court backlog, whether Labour MPs who are lawyers and supporting the legislation should be charged with professional malpractice and why the absence of a 'sunset clause' in the legislation reveals the Government's true malintent.
