We provide an English perspective on the on-going constitutional crisis currently playing itself out. If the Union is to be saved, Nick Timothy concludes there is only one sustainable course of action available:

Not only would the powers reserved for the UK government and parliament reflect some of the most popular aspects of the Union for Scottish voters – the military, currency and UK single market – but by granting self-government to England, it would show that ministers were serious about granting true, lasting self-government to Scotland within the Union."
