I am delighted to welcome back Matthew Phillips to the show, whose phone line manages to behave up to the second segment, yet appears to self isolate for the grand finale. For the sake of debate, I take the side that the court is too powerful, but I agree with my esteemed colleague that the UK judiciary is only as powerful as Parliament lets it be. The creation of the UKSC did bestow upon top judges newfound prestige... but little else in the way of power. Oh, and well done Nayan Patel, whose imagery of the man standing up to the tanks in Tiananmen Square is ably reenacted with Lego. You are the winner of the Lego political landmark/event creation contest. Thus, the icon for this episode is adorned with your winning entry. Well done!
