It’s hard to strike that happy medium. Sometimes we say there is nothing happening in politics, then everything comes along at once. We’ve had the Queen being displeased at being caught out attempting to influence a democratic constitutional vote, we’ve heard revelations about Donald Trump abusing power in his attempts to influence the actions of the Ukrainian Government, we’ve had Boris Johnson caught blatantly lying on camera about there being no cameras, we’ve seen the EU once again knock back Johnson’s ludicrous proposals for replacing the Irish backstop, and now we’ve had the sensational Supreme Court ruling that Boris Johnson acted illegally in proroguing Parliament.

Oh yes, and Labour still can’t make up their minds whether they are for or against Brexit, although that’s not really news.

Other stories such as the BBC’s defence of Laura Kuenssberg, Greta Thunberg’s powerful speech to the UN on climate change, and Thomas Cook going out of business, all help add to the feeling that we are suffering under that old Chinese curse of living in Interesting Times.

Making any sort of comment on what will happen next is probably a waste of time since events are moving so quickly. I am, though, delighted that my conviction that the Supreme Court would side with the UK Government have been shown to be completely wrong. For the moment, I’ll just sit back and watch what happens next.
