Justice Secretary Alex Norris has announced the government will scrap controversial plans to curb jury trials for all but the most serious of offences, which were introduced under plans put forward by Sir Keir Starmer's government.

However, he tells Sunday Morning host Helen Lewis that he expects the court backlog will 'continue to rise' until the legislation passes.

One of the best parts of my job is coming to New York for The Atlantic festival, which is held in September (the best month to be in New York, when it’s still warm but not too warm). This year I got to watch the big boss talk to Bill Clinton, and hang out with colleagues that I otherwise only see on Slack.

Also delighted to see that me being mean about podcasters made it into the Atlantic yearbook. IT’S NO MORE THAN THEY DESERVE. by @helenlewisposts

Guess where we went for the weekend? Featuring:
- a parade of giant puppet giraffes for the city’s art festival
- the sea fortress of Suommelina, reachable by ferry
- ice cream
- Helsinki cathedral steps, familiar to lovers of 90s dance music as the setting for the Sandstorm video
- big tree, berries
- creepy kids (I now have this as a cushion, Jonathan is THRILLED) at the Synebrychoff museum
- the Synebrychoffs were very into portraits generally, tbh
- A madman running the Helsinki half on a whim
- modern art at the Klasma taken in Helsinki, Finland by @helenlewisposts

Travelling through Michigan and Wisconsin (via Illinois and Indiana) for @theatlantic — took the Amtrak from Chicago at 6am to Ann Arbor (highly recommended), covered a data center protest in Saline, took the ferry across Lake Michigan, and watched Ilhan Omar and Hasan Piker stump for Francesca Hong in Milwaukee. As a bonus, I saw a swallowtail — a butterfly I’ve been wanting to spot since childhood. It was HUGE. taken in Michigan, USA by @helenlewisposts

Why are IQ tests so seductive?

Helen Lewis argued that part of the appeal is brutally simple: they promise to give you a number that proves you were special all along.

The Genius Myth is available now in paperback.

Five myths of genius, courtesy of my book The Genius Myth, which is out now in paperback. I also had fun coming up with silly coinages, like the POTUS problem, and using interesting concepts like the “twenty-first chair” and the Matthew Effect. by @helenlewisposts
