Letter: Londoners deserve to get the same deal as the Welsh
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Letter: Londoners deserve to get the same deal as the WelshYour leading article points out the need for Labour to rethink devolution following the narrow result in Wales. What the low turn-out showed is that there is no coherent national community in Wales.
It is the wealth of cities that provides the economic energy in the surrounding regions - and provides local allegiances. This is as true of Cardiff and Edinburgh as of London and Manchester. For this reason a recent City Region Campaign report that I edited suggested some 50 small regions for the UK.
By giving insufficient weight to cities and their regions Labour is creating avoidable constitutional troubles for itself.
