Why #Federalism? We believe that a #FederalUK allows the different parts of the country the powers to decide on issues which effect them whilst contributing to, and being able to access, the UK's benefits. By federalising we will be making ourselves stronger. 🇬🇧

This would be a huge boost to the British economy and, if we were federalised, could see the costs and benefits shared between the federal government and the provincial governments.
What if... Airports connected by high speed rail?

A federated, not divided, UK is one which would encourage effective governance and prosperity.
The best way to "salvage what we can" is to remain united and work to solve our collective problems. Not give up and balkanise the UK.

If the UK were a federation, it would be possible for the relevant provincial governments and the central government to cooperate on this, keep costs down (through sharing the burden) and ensure that the rail lines run where they are needed.
HS3, high speed trail from Hull to Liverpool (via Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester) is the best way to bring better transport to the North of England.

The cost of separation. I'm confused however as to why so many @theSNP MPs & MSPs are sharing this while also pushing a separatist policy that would be 2 to 3 times more costly for Scotland in terms of trade-related economic damage alone. #Brexit #Scexit

Using a properly devolved (or federalised system) it would be possible for the Provinces to work on these projects, and tailor them for their respective areas. Our current system means good projects like this often never get off the ground despite the need for them.
Pan-South Yorkshire tram network? High speed rail line between Hull and Liverpool (HS3)? West Yorkshire metro system?

Taking it across all of England would be massive for the English and British economies. Proper devolution, or better federalism, is a must if we want to get Britain's economy going again.
Devolution to Yorkshire would, by some estimations, add billions to the economy. Why not decentralise Britain and England's economies and get them growing again? 💮 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, we pause to remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Lest we forget.

This is fundamentally true. A country like the UK can easily complement two or more different national identities. Federalism helps reflect this do a degree, as well as improve the administration of a country.
In the UK, you can be both a proud Englishman and a proud Briton. The 84.3% of us living in our 53.7% of the UK should take pride in the fact that we are English as well as British and not shy away from it. It's a beautiful part of the world after all. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

A great part of a great county and the host of a great university! Have a great #EastRidingDay!
Today is #EastRidingDay. The #EastRiding of the county of York is the smallest & least populous of #Yorkshire's three ridings and the lowest-lying. The East Riding has a lengthy seacoast along the North Sea and up the broad, tidal Humber. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #CountyDays 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

London, like Yorkshire and Cornwall, should be a Province of a federal United Kingdom with a parliamentary style of governance.
If London wants to "level up", we need a re-empowered GLA that > centralises functions up from boroughs > devolves down powers from govt > is elected either on PR or includes "business" votes (like the City) for non-res workers
