Description
The Northern Question: A History of a Divided Country A history of the UK's regional inequalities, and why they matter, is told through the lens of a northern perspective. The persistent fault line between England's North and South continues to shape national politics, from Brexit to the electoral collapse of Labour's 'Red Wall'. This book recounts how subsequent governments prioritised finance over manufacturing, London ahead of the regions, and austerity over reconstruction. Tom Hazeldine examines the complex relationships between the North and the rest of England, tracing the evolution of the region's industrialising society and its impact on politics. By exploring the history of the North, Hazeldine sheds new light on the English landscape and the nation's capital. 304 pages, paperback.
