The Campaign for an English Parliament
We campaign for an English Parliament, meaning a parliament for the people of England, for whom England is their chosen or inherited home.

- The UK government unveiled its English Devolution Whitepaper this week in which it sets out how it will avoid introducing devolution to England.
- "England still remains without a common voice on its issues. In the absence of that voice, the question remains: can true devolution ever exist without an English parliament, or will we continue to see patchwork solutions that only address part of the problem?"
- Straight up disinformation. Nothing here applies to Britain, it's all England-only policy and spending. #SayEngland #ThatsDevolved

- Across, not to, unfortunately.
- The UK Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has indicated that the UK Housing Secretary will be given the power to bypass local authorities and approve the building of new prisons in England.

- What does the UK Labour Party's Plan for Change mean for you? Rather more if you live in England than it does if you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. #LabourParty #labour #milestones #planforchange
- But not in partnership with the people of England. England won't be consulted on how it wants to be governed as a nation.
- Back in 2010, IPPR's Michael Kenny & Guy Lodge surveyed MPs on their attitudes to the Barnett Formula. 62% said it was unfair, yet 14 years later nothing has been done about it. Screencap from 'The English Question: The View from Westminster'
- "Some 60% of voters in England are enraged by politics, but Scots are more optimistic about the future and less nostalgic for a rosy past" Now why could that be? www.thetimes.com/article/bdfc...

- It's a shame that all those politicians and political commentators who argued that 'we don't need an English parliament because: English votes on English Laws' don't seem able to admit they were wrong.
- It's like its 2009 again. The Tory press whipping up English nationalism because of the unfairness of asymmetric devolution and Labour playing straight into their hands.

- That the left and centre left fail to articulate a progressive English narrative is basically the premise of 'Another England' by @carolinelucas.bsky.social This is not just an unfortunate shame, it has implications for democracy.

- The Labour Party Manifesto: "Labour is committed to making Britain the best place in the world to be a football fan." I thought this was a run-of-the-mill example of Labour avoiding the word 'England' and replacing it with the more palatable (to them) 'Britain'.
