Peter Hain on England

The Tories, despite once priding themselves as "the party of the Union", now place selfish party advantage ahead of national interest. - Peter Hain, MP for the Welsh constituency of Neath with ambitions to be Labour's Deputy Leader.

By trying to whip up and then harness nationalist sentiment in England, they risk unleashing forces which can lead to only one thing: the Balkanisation of Britain. That would damage Britain and damage Wales. - Peter Hain MP

So how are Labour reducing English nationalist sentiment?

Wales has long benefited from support from the Treasury, with Welsh public spending almost £1,000 per head higher than in England. - Peter Hain MP
