What’s it like running a city? In this episode, Aaron talks to Tris Brown (@trisbrown), the Mayor of Liverpool’s Chief of Staff. They discuss the tension between what Whitehall expects from mayors - decisive, all-powerful leadership - and the negligible amount of money it gives them. They also touch on the rough-sleeper crisis, and discuss whether Tris is Josh, Leo McGarry, or Toby? ‘Open Country’ is over halfway to our £1000 fundraising goal.
