A big thank you to the people of Scotland for voting to stay in the Union.

A big thank you also goes out to the people of Scotland for bringing devolution of power away from Westminster to the top of the political agenda. Devolution not just for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland but also for the regions of England.

It’s no good for political parties just to talk about an English Parliament. Do that and as far as the English are concern power still rests with Westminster.

The debate needs to move on and decide how best we can shift power and spread wealth across the whole of England.

What is needed is to back up what the Scots have started for us with a strong Union based on a Federal United Kingdom. Long live the Union…..
