A Place for England is a proposal to establish an English Devolution Office led by a Secretary of State and to create a Council of England to bring together regional & local leaders. The aim is to give England as a whole an enhanced voice within the United Kingdom.

"The necessary response: the establishment of a parliament for England; entrenched devolution of power in England; and the re-founding of the union as a voluntary collaboration of nations."
This sounds not unlike the federacy advanced in @Dr_W_E_Bulmer's recent book 'The English Constitution: Refoundation, Restoration, and Reform'.

The Struggle to Belong – Woolf Annual Lecture
Last week, we were honoured to welcome former Labour Cabinet minister, Professor John Denham, to deliver the annual Woolf lecture.
His talk explored the roots of ‘Englishness’ and ‘Britishness’ and how these have increasingly come to reflect different values in contemporary society, divisions exacerbated by the exclusion of England from structures of governance. The necessary response: the establishment of a parliament for England; entrenched devolution of power in England; and the re-founding of the union as a voluntary collaboration of nations.
The lecture was followed by a response by Professor Michael Kenny (Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge) and a Q&A.
Particular thanks to our speaker and to Dr Mohammed Ibraheem Ahmed for facilitating the event.

God Save The King is not the national anthem of England. It is the national anthem of the United Kingdom. England should have its own distinctive national anthem for sporting purposes. England uses "Jerusalem" as its anthem at the Commonwealth Games.

As the Mayoral Council is an England-only body, it would be great if both the Union Flag and the Flag of England were displayed side by side at future meetings.

Absolutely - it’s a nonsense to have lieutenancies based on defunct 1970s council areas.
An easy fix - and great way to begin a serious rescue of true county identities.

Credit where it is due for flying both the Union Flag and English flag outside Birmingham Council House. All councils in England should do this.
A fantastic visit from the ICC Women’s #T20WorldCup trophy today as it tours Birmingham ahead of the opening match at Edgbaston on 12 June. 🏏
Don't miss your chance to be part of the action, get your tickets today. 🎟️

The FA should follow Commonwealth Games England's example and use “Jerusalem (And did those feet in ancient time)” as a unique national anthem for England. "God Save The King" is the national anthem of the whole UK.
Meeting the team behind the team ❤️🏴

In Scotland and Wales, public buildings usually fly two flags, the Union Flag and their own national flag. If this was the case in England too, the English flag would be a lot more visible in public and there wouldn’t be a need for people to cable-tie it to lamp posts.
