The Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, set to publish a book next speaking out about their experiences of modern British politics, and the fight for Northern voices to be heard.
Look North promises a new vision for Britain which centres a Northern perspective and reimagines our country beyond the Westminster bubble, arguing that by reframing our thinking we can push forward for a fairer future.
“From the renationalisation of public transport networks to rebuilding the NHS and social care spaces; from eradicating homelessness to establishing a green economy, Andy and Steve’s united vision for Britain isn’t an unrealistic alternative, it’s a very tangible possibility.” say the publishers Trapeze
At its core, Look North is a timely discussion around Northern voices and culture, devolution and the failed promises of ‘levelling up’ from successive Tory Prime Ministers, outlining how we can spread political and economic power throughout the UK. It is a firm message to the Westminster elite that things can, will and are changing, and that the North will not sit on the side-lines.
The book is being written with the support of Liam Thorp, political editor at the Liverpool Echo.
Andy and Steve are donating a proportion of the proceeds to charity.
