Ambitious, courageous and thought-provoking, this is the vision for the Britain we deserve - and the one we need now more than ever.
UPDATED WITH A NEW CHAPTER DISCUSSING THE POLITICAL EVENTS OF 2024
'A PATH-BREAKING BOOK' - Gordon Brown
'HEARTFELT, AMBITIOUS' - Brian Groom
'RADICAL' - Novara Media
'A PROGRAMME OF OPTIMISM' - Tribune
'PERSUASIVE... A CLEAR PLAN' - The Observer
Britain is more unequal than ever before. If we're ever going to fix this, we must take the power out of Westminster.
For the very first time, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, the Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region, share their combined experiences on the frontline of modern British politics - and their ambitious vision for the future.
They discuss challenges and lessons from throughout their lives, including how the Hillsborough disaster shaped them, their time as MPs in Westminster witnessing its systematic flaws, leaving to become Mayors up North, and battling Boris Johnson during the Covid-19 pandemic. Building on this, they also offer a comprehensive ten-point plan to rewire our country beyond the Westminster bubble.
A timely discussion around Northern voices and culture, a razor-sharp analysis of the failed promises of 'levelling up' and an inspiring call for change, Head North outlines how we can spread political and economic power throughout the UK and push forward for a fairer future.
