Shadow justice secretary says despite U-turn Labour are still ‘restricting juries by the back door’, as Conservative conference begins in BirminghamOvernight the Conservatives have also announced a proposal to end a childcare “cliff edge”, which currently means parents earning more than £100,000 do not qualify for the entitlement, the Press Association reports. PA says:All parents working 16 or more hours a week would be eligible to get 30 hours of free care a week under the Tories’ proposals.The policy is estimated to cost £700m a year, which party officials say could be funded by cutting the number of public servants at arms-length bodies.Around 20% of student loans now go to non-UK nationals, up from about 10% in 2015.

But these headlines are misleading, as surveys rarely include details about the grim administration of capital punishment and only present a binary
