Robert Jenrick on the 'nonsense' two tier justice system | The Daily T

Описание: The debate over a two-tier justice system has reignited after reports revealed that judges and magistrates are being instructed to prioritise bail for ethnic minority defendants, following concerns that they are disproportionately remanded into custody.

The Sentencing Council has come under scrutiny for its decision to uphold these new judicial guidelines, despite a request from Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood to reconsider them. The controversial rules, set to take effect tomorrow, require judges to consider an offender’s socio-economic background before determining whether a custodial sentence is appropriate. Critics argue that this could lead to an imbalance in how justice is applied, potentially favouring some groups over others.

The policy shift has sparked outrage among opposition figures and legal experts who claim it undermines the principle of equal justice under the law. Concerns have been raised that justice should be blind, with decisions based solely on the crime committed rather than a defendant’s demographic background. Supporters, however, argue that the move addresses racial disparities in the criminal justice system, where ethnic minorities have historically faced higher incarceration rates.
In a heated discussion, Kamal and Camilla speak with Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about the growing backlash against the “two-tier” justice system, as well as Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s latest immigration crackdown, which has seen the deportation of 24,000 illegal immigrants since his government took office.

The controversy adds to an already tense political landscape, with critics accusing Starmer’s administration of sending mixed signals—on one hand, prioritising deportations to enforce stricter border policies, while on the other, implementing judicial policies that some say favour certain groups over others.

With public trust in the legal system at stake, the two-tier justice debate is set to remain a key battleground in the coming months.
