Even better - keep judges out of politics

The Supreme Court is already one-sided...towards Labour/remain, as is the House of Lords and the civil service.

Too late... 😕

Changes to our judges is messing with our very fabric of impartiality.

I believe that horse has bolted out of the stable door already! brexit judges anyone? Quite obvious they were being political.

Another has-been.

Trohnson, is coming nothing you can do..

Please don’t select any snow flakes. Ordinary people not ladies or lords should get the job. We need harsh laws also mandatory life sentences for murders some rapists and child molesters.? We need a new prison for these killers. Single solitary cells. No tv just boredom.

Too late I fear. By the time we've finished this Parliament, our legal system could look very different and be acting as a barrier (through direction and self-interest) to any opposition getting in to power...
