ANDY BURNHAM'S AMBITIOUS TEN-POINT PLAN TO FIX BRITAIN - THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Described as:
'A PATH-BREAKING BOOK'- Gordon Brown
'HEARTFELT, AMBITIOUS'- Brian Groom
'PERSUASIVE... A CLEAR PLAN' - The Observer
'THE BOOK THAT REVEALS BURNHAM'S BLUEPRINT FOR GOVERNING' - The Telegraph

Prime Minister 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 Northern 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

It was so refreshing and exciting wishing Andy all the luck in the world. We won’t get better so get behind him

Inspirational

This book was very informative and was better as a result of both writers being the narrators.

At the time of reading Andy Burham was PM for two weeks, I have two concerns firstly, at the time of writing he had no idea he would become PM particularly based on two previous failed attempts and secondly, I hope he is never gifted a book with the title Head North to read.

I am not from the UK, but I do wish Andy Burnham the best of luck as he navigates the difficult journey ahead.

Interesting

An interesting and somewhat disturbing listen to hear what actually happens in Whitehall and how the establishment is dividing to conquer.

What everyone needs to listen to right now

Great book that shows a different way forward for the UK based of great experiences from 2 honest and successful politicians

Finally, people brave enough to tell the story of the North & to come up with plausible explanations & solutions. I lived through the Thatcher years, I know what the right wing & Westminster did to us then & since.

The honesty
