It's almost impossible to imagine a politician talking about England in the terms Murphy does about Scotland, but it shouldn't be.
England also deserves to be imagined and talked of as a political community with direction and a future.
In the absence of a First Minister for England, and with UK Prime Ministers reluctant to mention England in a political context, a Secretary of State for England is one way in which England's political priorities and sense of nationhood could be articulated.
