There was a brief exchange in another thread wondering whether the FPTP electoral system insulated us from extremist politicians. It’s pretty obvious to me that it doesn’t.
Is there is any sort of public appetite for such a power grab? Is it mere coincidence that the judicial system has been attacked repeatedly - enemies of the people, sentences reported as too lenient etc?
Downing Street is to begin a fresh war with judges over a plan to let ministers throw out any legal rulings they do not like.
Boris Johnson wants to further curtail the power of the courts to overrule decisions by ministers through the process of judicial review, The Times has learnt. The move comes after a series of political clashes with judges that started over Brexit.
