Makerfield MP and Labour Party leadership candidate Andy Burnham outlines his ambitious plan to help fix Britain, along with the Mayor of the Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram. They discuss the challenges and lessons learned throughout their lives, including how the Hillsborough disaster shaped them, their time in Westminster witnessing its systematic flaws, becoming Mayors up North and battling Boris Johnson during the Covid-19 pandemic, all whilst showing how they have led two of the country's fastest growing city regions. Building on this, Andy and Steve offer a comprehensive ten-point plan that would completely rewire our country.

A timely discussion around power and devolution, 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.

Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram have been the Mayors for Greater Manchester & the Liverpool City Region since 2017. Andy was previously the Labour MP for Leigh from 2001-2017 and served as the Culture Secretary and then the Health Secretary in Gordon Brown's cabinet. Steve was previously Labour MP for Liverpool Walton from 2010-2017 and served as the Parliamentary Private Secretary to Jeremy Corbyn from 2015-2017.
