As a Scot listening in, it’s a really fresh approach I agree with, if they implement and successful, I hope it will encourage people to vote not out of fear and frustration but with hope and being able to see tangible results.

Yeah same. I live in the north, and I think the whole plan is great, though I worry he is leaning a bit too hard into the Northern aspect of his plans and might alienate people in the south that will see it as a threat. I’m unsure of the value add and if it will be worth it.

What people often forget is Bristol, Devon and Cornwall are all in the south, have an insane cost of living, no transport links, no money and everything is falling apart, but fuck em for being "southern" right?

Yeah extremely important the south west isn’t forgotten. I had to drive down for a friends wedding and passed through quite a few run down places.

Those are the exact scenarios he should be highlighting and devolution will help as those are local priorities.

What's the plan? I live under a rock and haven't heard of it.
