    The Smith Bros - Andy Burnham & Steve Rotherham

    Brought to you by That Prize Guy - www.thatprizeguy.co.uk Politics, power, Hillsborough, Westminster, Liverpool, Manchester and why so many people have lost faith in the system. In this special episode of The Smith Brothers Podcast, Callum Paul and Liam are joined by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram for a wide-ranging conversation about politics, boxing, football, friendship and fighting for the North. Andy and Steve discuss their unlikely friendship, their journeys into politics, the realities of life inside Westminster, and why they both chose to leave national politics behind to focus on their regions. They explain why so many people feel disconnected from politics, how social media and misinformation are shaping public opinion, and why they believe the current political system is failing ordinary people. The conversation also revisits the Hillsborough campaign, with Burnham reflecting on his role in helping reopen the fight for justice and the moments that changed his political career forever. Together, they discuss Liverpool and Manchester’s shared history, the importance of devolution, and why they believe the North needs a stronger voice. Along the way there are stories about Vitali Klitschko, Gordon Brown, Liverpool Capital of Culture, football rivalries, ring walk songs, boxing comparisons, and the strange reality of life in politics.
