36. Iran and Jury Trials

In this episode of Take Me Home, Sebastian Moore and Hilary Salt discuss two major issues shaping politics today.First, they examine the escalating conflict involving Iran, the geopolitical importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and what the situation means for global energy supplies and Britain’s national interest. They debate whether the UK should support intervention abroad or focus on a more cautious, non-interventionist approach.They also turn to domestic politics, looking at the Courts and Tribunals Bill and the proposal to restrict jury trials. The conversation explores why jury trials matter, their historical roots in Magna Carta, and the wider implications for trust, democracy and the justice system.Along the way they reflect on the recent Gorton and Denton by-election, upcoming local elections, and the broader challenges facing Britain today.Check out the SDP website or get in touch: [email protected]@sdp.org.ukhttps://www.instagram.com/sebastianmooresdp/https://www.facebook.com/people/Sebastian-Moore/61560022995037/#https://www.tiktok.com/@sebastianmooresdp
