It's almost certainly a coincidence that Gordon Brown’s report for the Labour Party on UK constitutional reform and the interim report from the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales were published on successive days last week.
Coincidence or not, the timing makes it easier to identify the gap that exists between UK Labour and the aspirations within Wales for constitutional change.
It seems ages since the commission co-chaired by Laura McAllister and Rowan Williams was set up – it was in October 2021 – but on checking my records I find that it was as long ago as March 2017 when Mr Brown came to Cardiff to launch Labour’s own constitutional inquiry.
