Is our democracy under threat? In this week’s NLJ, Michael Zander KC reviews (an alarming) speech by Professor Sir Jeffrey Jowell KC on the subject of the UK’s constitution.
Sir Jeffrey cited several examples of what he called ‘constitutional slippage, of democratic die-back’, in this year’s Rothschild Foster Human Rights Trust Lecture.
From the government’s approach to the Northern Ireland Protocol to the dismissal of the permanent secretary at the Treasury, Zander covers some of the most important points of the speech and what can be done to address the issues it raises.
