A senior Conservative has urged Boris Johnson to strip Wales and Scotland of the powers to set distinct policies in areas like Covid lockdown rules.
David Frost said the ability of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to make their own rules on healthcare should be scrapped to encourage a sense of a "common national endeavour, with an understanding that 'we are all in this together'."
The former Brexit negotiator who is now sitting in the House of Lords, was writing in The Telegraph where he has just joined as a columnist. In his first piece he set out what he called "a three point action plan" to rebuild support for the government. And firstly, he said that Boris Johnson's administration should "rebuild the UK nation state as a collective endeavour for everyone within it".
