“Where is my favourite blog?” Comes the distraught call from readers across the Internet. In purdah, like the Civil Service, until the wretched wreferendum is behind us. I am mindful, dear people, of how slavishly you follow my advice and hesitate to influence you at this most important time.

I am hugely bored with the entire process and am now at the point you reach when you are in the 42nd week of pregnancy and anything, even a breach birth, seems like an option worth considering.

It seems that everyone on the planet has a view on what we should do but I suspect just a smidgen of self interest from at least some of them. The only opinion that does not appear to have been consulted is that of the British people who will have to live with the result, whichever way it goes. Let’s wait and see what they want.

See you all on the other side.
