'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.

Recenzii
This is a path-breaking book by two dynamic leaders working together to transform not just the north of England, but our view of what's possible in the north of England, and whose ideas on the future deserve all our attention.
The Hillsborough families know more than anyone that this country does not treat all people and all places equally. We also know our experience was not an exception: the same pattern of injustice keeps on repeating down the decades. The Head North Plan, with a Hillsborough Law at its heart, is the change our country needs.
A moving and fascinating look behind the scenes of our political system; the important story of two politicians from working class backgrounds, who set out to change lives and do the right thing.
A heartfelt, ambitious plea to tackle structural factors behind Britain's glaring regional inequalities from one of Northern England's most prominent political double-acts.
It's powerful. This is humanity and politics brought together... And the result is no pie in the sky wishlist. The 10 points are practical ideas based on the inner workings of Britain's establishment... they provide something in short supply at the moment, hope. Large sections of Head North are rage-inducing, there's no doubt about that. But closing the final page, I felt more optimistic about the possibility of real change in Britain than I have for a long time.
It is a compelling argument for regional devolution from two of its foremost practitioners.
Against the backdrop of devastating critiques of what deregulation and privatisation have done to some public services in both their patches and beyond, the two Labour leaders call for maximum devolution of powers in a federal political union.
Head North makes a passionate case for restructuring politics with the regions and regional devolution at the heart of a transformed political system that works for the many... Head North reads like a call to arms against the status quo.
Head North calls for a real levelling-up, as opposed to the recent hollow farce. Burnham and Rotheram make a strong case for a new, green industrial revolution.
well-argued... strong ideas.
Radical proposals... the most moving parts of the book bring this project down to earth... It isn't even just about the north. It's a brutal reality of British state power that can befall us all... if the book has a singular achievement, it's that it makes a persuasive case for why a range of doorstep issues - especially those that speak to regional inequality - are in fact constitutional problems, and can't be addressed without revolutionising what is an overcentralised political system.
The pair's study of the neglect of northern regions carries persuasive ideas for their renewal and a reminder that history favours the brave... offering a clear plan to improve living standards... Their vision for equality appears workable and deceptively simple... Not since Tony Blair 30 years ago have politicians advocated for the north from a place of understanding, while also acknowledging that there is no actual single "north"... Overseen by journalist Liam Thorp, who brings brevity and order, Head North ultimately offers hope to the northern regions when it is most needed.
Two of the very few MPs who are genuinely concerned about the welfare of their constituents, have a basic decency, strong principles and a genuine humanity... they argue strongly for a different kind of politics that would address the stark inequalities in Britain and the north-south divide... Burnham and Rotheram should certainly be congratulated on addressing our dysfunctional political system... as well as renewed hope to a country in the process of self-destruction.
Head North unpicks many of the reasons for the challenges we face in the North of England and suggests solutions... a book whose arguments will be attractive to many.
At once a fascinating insight into the squalid inner workings of Westminster politics and a programme of optimism for the complete overhaul to tackle Britain's social, economic and constitutional malaise, the book is one of the more thought-provoking to have emerged from British politics.
