The Barnett Formula ensures that Scotland and Northern Ireland receive far more than England and Wales, irrespective of what each nation contributes. It's unfair.

It's long past time we moved to a needs-based funding formula or allowed each nation to finance itself through taxation.

Not to mention the Barnett Formula.

But positive examples might include Caroline Lucas' Another England, Gareth Southgate's various words about an inclusive England team, Raise the Flag, Three Acres and a Cow, the small community events on St George's Day, etc.

Positive examples are few and far between because the body politic in England sees Britishness as the legitimate civic nationalism, and English nationalism as a reaction to (or threat to) that.

So politicians just don't speak of England.

They're not really English nationalists.

There are, however, some of us who do think that England should be a normal nation with its own democracy, institutions, anthem, first minister, etc.

They're Anglo-centric British nationalists. And that includes Scots like Gordon Brown. They don't have a discrete sense of England and think that England having a discrete political sense of itself would undermine Britain and Britishness. In that respect they're anti-English.

How do you explain Scottish and Northern Irish MPs voting against while English and Welsh MPs voted for?

More religious societies?

The only use of the word 'England' in the Reform UK manifesto is in the names 'Bank of England' and 'Natural England'.

There are 40 mentions of Britain, including "Only Reform UK will secure Britain’s future as a free, proud and independent sovereign nation."

Definitely British nationalist.
