'PERSUASIVE... A CLEAR PLAN' - The Observer

For the very first time, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, the Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region, outline their ambitious plan to help fix Britain, based on their combined experiences on the frontline of modern British politics.

They discuss challenges and lessons learned 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.

Britain is more unequal than ever before. If we're ever going to fix this, we must take the power out of Westminster.
