Socialism with a Northern Accent: Radical Traditions for Modern Times is a book by Paul Salveson, at that time a Labour Party and trade union activist, which re-asserts the strength and distinctiveness of the socialism which emerged in the mills, mines and railway yards of the North of England.[1] It also makes the case for the renewal of popular socialism[2] through devolution to the North of England.[3]
The book was originally published with a foreword by John Prescott, who described it as "an important account of Labour’s traditional, community-based values with many lessons for today".[4]
