    Today's devolution meeting is done and dusted the crunch will come when we hear whether there’s any sort of agreement from the people taking part.

    As yet, there is no jointly agreed position. Both MP Jon Trickett and Jon Prescott have spoken about the need for a debate, but also the need to stop it dragging on for too long.

    They’re aware that the public will need some convincing to take anything more than a passing interest in devolution.

    Meanwhile, other parts of the country push on with their devolution deals. Yorkshire’s leaders face a choice – thrash out an agreement they’re all happy with, or face seeing their county left behind.
