COMMENT A majority of Scots now support independence â but there is an undemocratic refusal from the Tories to accept another referendum An open letter to Baroness Camilla Cavendish DEAR Ms Cavendish. Forgive me addressing you in this slightly unorthodox and public manner. I read with great interest your article in the Financial Times on Saturday, headed “A new constitutional deal would avert a break-up of the Union”. I note that you speak with some authority as the former head of the Downing Street policy unit under David Cameron and are now a senior fellow in government at Harvard University. Perhaps even more interesting, BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour has ranked you the fifth-most influential woman in Britain.
