The Coronavirus pandemic has had widespread effects across society, and nowhere is this being felt more keenly than in the justice system. The already enormous backlog of outstanding cases in the criminal courts has only been exacerbated by the Coronavirus pandemic, and now stands at almost 50,000. For reference, in the year before the pandemic, […]
On 25th November, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood before the House of Commons to present his November spending review. I am a little careful about doing this, given that the last time I tried this was on the 2020 Budget, an exercise that a month afterwards was rendered moot by the arrival of coronavirus.

It has lead to widespread debate on reforming various aspects across safety, building regulations and what approach the Government should take to homes and habitation.
