Labour MP suspended after criticising David Lammy's plans to scrap jury trials

Karl Turner MP has had the Labour whip suspended, GB News understands.

Mr Turner, MP for Kingston Upon Hull East, was a prominent critic of the Government's jury trial reforms.

He previously said Justice Secretary David Lammy was "getting it so badly wrong," in regards to the proposed plans to scrap jury trials.

Mr Turner also announced in January that he would be willing to resign and trigger a by-election in an attempt to stop the reforms.
