It’s always worth reading @HelenHet20 but I’m not clear from this piece what she thinks the English Question actually is. I think that that may be because she is confusing two questions.
One “question” is about English identity: where it is a commonplace since Orwell that the left can struggle to sound as if it likes England very much. I have various thoughts about what to do about that but it isn’t really my area.
But the other question is about accountability and say in decision-making. That is a question about local government/devolution/bringing decisions closer to home: and to the extent that Helen seems to be denying that there’s a demand for that in England, I think she’s wrong.

One principle of good regulation is that it should prevent activity you don’t want while not impeding activity that you do want.
Regulation that stops EU school parties visiting the U.K. (which we presumably do want) while not in practice preventing holders of EU ID cards who want to dodge the passport requirement from slipping in via Ireland does not, in any obvious way, pass that test.
NB another example of why immigration control should be taken away from the Home Office and given to an economic department (my vote would be a Department of Employment (and Tourism)).

Interesting to read @SirJJQC’s interview on the current government’s attitude to the Protocol that it had signed: “having signed up to this deal, there were aspects of it the Government didn’t really like, and was going to try to find ways around.”
Also worth noting.
Full interview here. ukandeu.ac.uk/interview-pdf/…

Many will guffaw. telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/… But there is an important point for the future here.
This an example of how the current government’s choice of Brexit - and its insistence on treating mobility with all our close neighbours (apart from Ireland) in the same way as mobility with Mongolia - are economically and politically unsustainable.
The damage to the UK’s services industries, the reduction in the opportunities available to our citizens (young and old), the problems caused to business - all are consequences of the current government’s choices: other choices could have been made.

Day 10 of #Coast2Coast: Reeth to Richmond. Short day through lower Swaledale. Reeth is lovely but too many cars parked on the green.
Along the Swale. Wondering if buttercups are a cash crop round here.
Open country and pretty church near Marske.
