Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram

Britain is more unequal than ever before. If we're ever going to fix this, we must take the power out of Westminster. For the very first time, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, the Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region, share their combined experiences on the frontline of modern British politics – and their ambitious vision for the future.

In their new book Head North, they discuss challenges and lessons from 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.

Join Andy and Steve as they outline how we can spread political and economic power throughout the UK and push forward for a fairer future.
