Not quite. They're debating whether to get rid of some jury trials, only for trials that have an "either-way" decision and carry a sentence of less than 3 years.

Ref: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn5lxg2l0lqo

97% of trials in the UK don't have juries anyway.

The changes would mean instead of 3% having juries it would be down to 2.25%.

This would also be reviewed once the existing backlog has been seen to. "This means that currently a suspect being charged with an offence today may not reach trial until 2030."
