Join Justine and Gaz for another lively episode of The T Word as they discuss the week's biggest stories.

In this week's episode of The T-Word, we're diving into three massive issues plaguing Britain right now. First up, David Lammy's proposal to scrap trial by jury to clear court backlogs - but is removing this fundamental cornerstone of British justice really the answer, or just another sticking plaster over chronic underfunding? Justine breaks down the Levinson Report and explains why the real problem isn't jury trials, it's lack of investment in the justice system itself.

With Rachel Reeves set to deliver her budget, we dive deep into the leaked plans - from freezing income tax thresholds that'll drag 9 million more people into higher tax brackets, to the proposed scrapping of the two-child benefit cap. But here's the real kicker: while millionaires like Lakshmi Mittal flee to Switzerland and 10,800 wealthy individuals abandon the UK, Labour thinks the solution is more spending and higher taxes. We break down why this death spiral approach never works and what it means for ordinary working people.
