'Head North' offers 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 rewiring Westminster to creating a new education system for all, Andy and Steve's united vision for Britain isn't an unrealistic alternative, it's a very tangible possibility.

He reveals the astonishing new culture wars playing out in our workplaces, universities, schools and homes in the names of social justice, identity politics and 'ntersectionality'. We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and a weaponization of identity, both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media.
