The Supreme Court
Lord Falconer, the Lord Chancellor, who saw the reforms through Parliament, agreed that the new court would strengthen the judiciary.
“The Supreme Court will be bolder in vindicating both the freedoms of individuals and, coupled with that, being willing to take on the executive,” he said.
I can’t tell if Lord Falconer’s making a prophecy of doom, or whether he thinks this is a good thing. I don’t usually trust him any further than I can throw him, but there’s a good chance he’s right on the money for a change.
I’m not holding my breath, of course.
