Jon Bright (London, OK): According to this article in the Sunday Herald, Gordon Brown is refusing to call Wendy Alexander's Scottish Constitutional Commission a commission, so as not to give an "incorrect impression about its status" - adding weight to all those who believe that Brown wants the "working party" (as I think it will now be called) both limited in its scope and controlled by Number 10. What would the effect be of Alexander's party coming back with only a few desultory extra powers of devolution? Or, perhaps even worse, calling for the return of some powers from Holyrood to Westminster?
Hat-tip to Gareth Young.
