Synopsis:

ANDY BURNHAM'S TEN-POINT PLAN TO FIX BRITAIN

Described as:
'A PATH-BREAKING BOOK' - Gordon Brown
'HEARTFELT, AMBITIOUS' - Brian Groom
'A PROGRAMME OF OPTIMISM' - Tribune
'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. They discuss the challenges and lessons learned throughout their lives, including how the Hillsborough disaster shaped them, their time as MPs in Westminster witnessing its systematic flaws, becoming Mayors up North and battling Boris Johnson during the Covid-19 pandemic. Building on this, they 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.
