About this episode
Let's go back in time five years and see what, if anything, has really changed...
In 2021 Andy was Mayor of Manchester but was clearly developing his thinking on where power in the UK lies.
This is a great mix of thoughtful political analysis and riveting behind-the-scenes detail as Andy tells the incredible inside story behind his showdowns with the UK and Scottish governments. He also tells the heartbreaking story of the Hlllsborough families' long campaign for justice and his role in changing the Labour government's position, including the moment he stands in front of a packed Anfield at the memorial service.
