I'm cautiously optimistic that Burnham's fondness for regionalism will mean he genuinely respects the devolved governments. Time will tell, of course, but I have hope

Totally, making the right noises in his first week at least. First budget and king's speech to be the test however!

Recent opinion polls mostly show a narrow plurality for indy, but we need to sway more Scots than a narrow and unstable gap to make a democratically legitimate case
