Was Labour's "new deal" stuff boring? Then the Tories' disastrous transition to Universal Credit? On paper, sure, but not to the countless people whose lives were drastically impacted.

We've also been bombing one area of the middle east or another for, at least, most of my lifetime. Not really boring for the people whose houses are dust, I'd think.

All I know is I spent a decent amount of time worrying about what was happening in America last night, just like I've worried about the possibility of a No Deal Brexit recently, and if the Independence thing came up again I would worry about that. (Corbyn I wasn't fussed about really).

While benefit changes are very important to many people, they are not massive constitutional upheaval. Maybe I'm being a bit selfish there I don't know.

I only vaguely remember the 'new deal' thing - didn't Gordon Brown stand in Downing Street before his first budget with some apprentices?
