Head North - A Rallying Cry for a More Equal Britain; Essential Political Reading

''A PATH-BREAKING BOOK'' - Gordon Brown ''MOVING AND FASCINATING'' - Kwajo Tweneboa ''THE CHANGE OUR COUNTRY NEEDS'' - Margaret Aspinall ''HEARTFELT, AMBITIOUS'' - Brian Groom ''RADICAL'' - Novara Media ''A PROGRAMME OF OPTIMISM'' - Tribune ''GENUINE HUMANITY'' - Morning Star ''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. Looking North could change this, and the Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram are leading this fight. For the first time, they share their experiences of modern British politics, from how the Hillsborough disaster shaped them and their time as MPs in Westminster witnessing its systematic flaws, to leaving to become Mayors up North, battling Boris Johnson during the Covid-19 pandemic, and creating a new vision for what Britain could be. In Head North , they propose an ambitious ten-point plan to rewire and reimagine our country beyond the Westminster bubble. A timely discussion around Northern voices and culture, devolution and the failed promises of ''levelling up'' from successive Tory Prime Ministers, Head North outlines how we can spread political and economic power throughout the UK and push forward for a fairer future. The North will not sit on the sidelines any longer. It''s time for real change - and this is how we can achieve it!
