This is really interesting. It had long been my contention that the Blair government bottled it (after catastrophically losing the referendum on devolution to NE England, with opposition lead by Dominic Cummings), and that asymmetric devolution and a failure of local representation lead to the loss of the Brexit referendum.

Maybe Starmer and Rayner will finish what Blair couldn't.
