Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Gordon Brown: 'A path-breaking book by two dynamic leaders, whose ideas on the future deserve all our attention.' Picked as one of Waterstones' Non-Fiction 'Books You Need to Read in 2024' Picked by the Financial Times as one of 'The Best New Politics Books' Picked by iNews as one of 'The Best New Books to Read in March 2024' Britain is more unequal than ever before. If we're ever going to fix this, we must take the power out of Westminster. Looking North could change this, and the Labour Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram are leading this fight. For the first time, they share their experiences of modern British politics, from how the Hillsborough disaster shaped them and their time as MPs in Westminster witnessing its systematic flaws, to leaving to become Mayors up North, battling Boris Johnson during the Covid-19 pandemic, and creating a new vision for what Britain could be. In Head North, they propose an ambitious ten-point plan to rewire and reimagine our country beyond the Westminster bubble. A timely discussion around Northern voices and culture, devolution and the failed promises of 'levelling up' from successive Tory Prime Ministers, Head North is an essential read ahead of the 2024 General Election, as it outlines how we can spread political and economic power throughout the UK and push forward for a fairer future. The North will not sit on the sidelines any longer. It's time for real change - and this is how we can achieve it!

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Head North: A Rallying Cry for a More Equal Britain (2024) by Andy Burnham & Steve Rotheram (Trapeze) ISBN: 9781398719736 Condition: Good Sold by: Crappy Old Books Some books arrive like a quiet suggestion. Head North arrives like a megaphone on a windy platform, politely tapping the microphone and then asking why the country is still surprised that geography and opportunity don?t line up. Written by Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, this is a 2024 rallying cry with a very specific vibe: ?We?ve tried being patient. Now can we please do the bit where things are fair.? The title is doing triple duty. It?s a direction of travel, a mindset, and a not-especially subtle hint that if Britain?s going to get its act together, it might want to look beyond the gravitational pull of the capital for once. It?s also delightfully ironic as a book purchase, because you can buy Head North from Crappy Old Books without leaving your sofa, which is exactly the kind of modern convenience that makes you feel guilty enough to actually read about regional inequality. This isn?t a cosy ?wouldn?t it be nice? sort of read. It?s a ?here?s what?s broken, here?s what it costs, here?s what could be different? sort of read, pitched at people who are tired of hearing that big change is impossible while watching small change happen suspiciously quickly whenever the right postcodes are involved. Expect talk of power, investment, pride, place, and the everyday realities of living in parts of the country that are routinely described as ?up-and-coming? as if they?ve been waiting in the lobby for 40 years. There?s also something wonderfully British about the whole enterprise: a passionate case for structural reform delivered with enough practical detail to feel like it might actually be used, but still wrapped in the national tradition of understatement. It?s not ?revolution now,? it?s more ?look, this is silly, isn?t it, and we could fix it if we chose to.? Which, in Britain, is basically revolutionary talk. This copy is in Good condition, meaning it?s solid, readable, and ready to do its civic duty. ?Good? at Crappy Old Books means it?s been handled, maybe read, maybe argued with, and has come through with its spine and dignity intact. Not pristine, not precious, not a coffee-table trophy. A proper working book for a subject that?s mostly about the difference between being talked about and being taken seriously. Perfect for anyone who cares about fairness, devolution, regional identity, or the recurring national habit of announcing that the North is ?finally having a moment? like it?s a new indie band. Also ideal if you enjoy books that make you nod, frown, laugh slightly, and then start pointing at maps. Sold by Crappy Old Books . Good condition. A modern political book with a clear message, an actual ISBN ( 9781398719736 ), and enough pointed optimism to make you feel both motivated and mildly annoyed. Which is, honestly, the correct emotional setting for British politics. N° de réf. du vendeur 5208
