Is there anybody there?

As ye sow, so shall ye reap, goes the old saying.  I've commented several times about the way the office of Lord Chancellor has been devalued and neutered over the last decade, and now the chickens have come home to roost.  One of the Lord Chancellor's prime functions is to protect the independence of the Judiciary, and yet when that independence has been called into question following the recent decision of the High Court concerning the conduct of the Brexit negotiations, where is the Lord Chancellor? Good question!
