There are other examples internationally of this sort of thing. E.g., different US states have different laws on letting prisoners vote.
The most awkward difference in the UK atm is age. 16 for locals and devolveds in Scotland & Wales, 18 otherwise. But that's changing soon.

"Quango (quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization), an organization to which a government devolveds power, but which is still partly controlled and/or financed by government bodies (shortening of "quasi-NGO", where NGO is the abbreviation for a non-government organization)"

People might hate Ai in their game, many times with good reson as it devolveds into slop and feeling samey fast.
But modern days games takes so long to make, much because of the increase in fidelity, remove that hurtle and we're back to 10 devs, what now takes a 100.

Disappointed to see almost no food producers on this list. Lots of corporates with no interest in reducing our consumption of UPFs and low nutrient density calories. Defra not clear but I think this is an English remit, or they’ve forgotten devolveds gov.uk/government/news/leadi…

A good tweet and a reminder to all "devolveds", whether First Ministers or Metro Mayors, that Westminster. makes the economic weather.

‘All roads lead back to Westminster’
No, not an SNP soundbite.
Instead, those words belong to UK Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary as he explains why the NHS is in crisis in Wales.
Well worth a listen, and a share.

Relations with the devolveds have been damaged not just by being shut out of Brexit negotiations but by the Internal Market Act and UK govt centralising instinct.

But is that the right place to bring together issues which affect trade and wider trade policy, the economy, regulation, Northern Ireland, relationships with the devolveds? Government should look at this again post-election.

““UK negotiators are hearing from India that they will get more out of Labour on visas and social security. That has been the impact of Labour’s trip to India and meeting with trade minister, Piyush Goyal.”
- it should be illegal for oppo and devolveds to do this.
Seditious.

Well there you have it - you get what you wish for people.
UK negotiators for the FTA with India believe that India are now waiting for a possible Labour government, as they will give away more on visas than the Tory government will.

No one could know the answer to that, then or now. But the point of the article is that the UK Government was, for wider political reasons, not prepared to work systematically with the devolveds to attempt to address an extremely serious situation facing all four governments.

At @instituteforgov for launch of final report with @BennettInst on constitutional review. Will be interesting to see how recs inform @Comisiwn’s own thinking & final report. Will be keeping a keen eye open for issues of relevance to Wales & devolveds

Westminster wants to knobble the devolveds. It's a long game. Pulling us out of the EU is all part of it.

After last week’s session with committee chairs from HoC, HoL and LJC, tomorrow it is the turn of former officials across the devolveds to talk about devolution in the post EU landscape:
How does devolution work outside the EU?
Tomorrow, we'll explore this as our inquiry into how devolution is changing post-EU continues. We'll hear from:
Professor Huw Rawlings, @AGMcCormick, @Kirkbytop, @ProfJimG and Paul Cackette

The only plausible example of that I'm aware of is the recent Welsh single use plastics legislation. But the Welsh Govt was upfront about creating a vehicle for challenging the effect of UKIMA. But even in that case it takes a heroic effort to paint the devolveds as the ones

That'll be the "main" hustings in England then Mike, as opposed to the lesser hustings hosted by @euromovescot and @WalesForEurope?
Rarely pays to take the devolveds for granted.
