Description

Britain is more unequal than ever before. If we're ever going to fix this, we must take the power out of Westminster. Two Labour Mayors, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, are leading the fight to create a more equal Britain. In their book, Head North, they share their experiences of modern British politics, from their time as MPs in Westminster to their time as Mayors in the North. Their ten-point plan proposes a radical rewire of the country, moving power from the Westminster bubble to the regions. This is a timely discussion around Northern voices and culture, devolution, and the failed promises of 'levelling up' from successive Tory Prime Ministers. The book outlines how to spread political and economic power throughout the UK and push forward for a fairer future. A key moment in the book is the authors' personal experiences, including the Hillsborough disaster and their time battling Boris Johnson during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is an essential read ahead of the 2024 General Election, as it outlines a vision for a more equal Britain.
