    • Abstract:
      Danny Kruger (Another Voice, 21 February) writes eloquently about the government's review of legal rights and responsibilities, in particular the judicial review process by which judges can make policy. But when he writes that politicians should make the rules; civil servants and judges should apply the rules - he goes astray in combining the roles of civil servants and judges. I suspect that Mr Kruger is unhappy about the judicial review process mainly because of the activities of the Supreme Court in two cases relating to Brexit: the first in 2017 on whether triggering Article 50 required parliamentary approval; the second in 2019 on the prorogation of parliament. With Dominic Cummings running amok, it is surely an opportune moment for the renewal of a great BBC tradition: fresh dramatic voices from across the UK engaging large audiences.
