Just some very fun outsider-surrealism of what goes on in the minds of english sub-national patriotism.

tbh if you are Sussxian, or english, give it a read, it’s extremely Dad Vibes of person being mad about not respecting the flag but it’s about councils painting the arms on road signs the wrong colour.
Levelling Up relates to strengthening Councils
Levelling Up relates to strengthening Councils
Over the last few days there have been a number of references to the context of levelling up but based on the information I have seen there was no explanation of what it relates to. However the phrase in the context of the Government follows on from their commitment that was announced in the Queen’s Speech to introduce a Levelling Up White Paper later this year.

The benefits of English Devolution
The benefits of English Devolution - a way forward for our nation that is so far only available in 8 areas!
My column in the Brighton Argus in a couple of days time calls for a fresh look at devolution in the English nation and specifically as a resident in Sussex for the area over Sussex, Surrey and Kent. It is useful to know what benefits such an approach could offer us and this was declared during an answer to a questionin the House of Lords on Wednesday.

After trailing a big decision on airports, a parliamentary vote on Heathrow was pushed to late 2017. Key social reform policies in education have been delayed too, like the national funding formula, which was originally due to be implemented this year, but will be delivered at least 12 months late. The fate of English devolution – formerly a major priority – is also in question. Adult social care and hospitals are being pushed to breaking point and, in the case of prisons, beyond it. Ambitions to reduce demand, make better use of technology and find new ways of working have yet to be realised. Without action, within the next two years the government could face a disastrous combination of failing public services and breached spending controls against the backdrop of Brexit. Even the prime minister’s personal priorities are moving slowly. David Cameron’s life chances strategy was scrapped in favour of a new focus on social mobility. The Social Mobility Commission recently reported, inequality is rising.

Be more creative Henry - English Devolution will demand new ways of thinking!
The consequences of the Scottish Referendum campaign are beginning to reverberate South of the border and it is producing evidence of how little creativity and imagination some of our MPs really have, or perhaps how keen they are to strengthen the status quo from where their tribal power emanates. As a result of the disconnect between London in general and Westminster in particular and the…
