Squeezing joy out of this amazing upside down life, however long or short. It’s sometimes hard. Love Justice Music Art Trees Earth.

Waking thoughts: Live and let live. Be nice. If you can’t be nice, at least do no harm. Love yourself, first and then you can love your family and friends. Help others when you feel you can. Protect others, if you can but don’t be in a hurry to rescue. Think first. Speak your own truth. Listen to others. Recognise a wrongun and don’t be afraid to say so. There is only one human race, there is no racism. There is prejudice and there is bigotry, and they are different. Human beings are tribal and we need to learn to be good neighbours. Cultures are just what some people are used to, we never stop learning but some have more learning to do. People in authority are there because no one else wanted the job - as much as them. Ask yourself why. They’re just people with a job. Pay your way, nobody owes you anything. Don’t ask what your government can do for you, they’re not your friend. Demand excellence in return for pay. Bring children into this world, there has never been a better time. Teach, love and protect them, they are YOUR children. If you want to keep a secret, don’t tell anyone. Trust in yourself, everyone else must earn it. Value truth, honesty and loyalty above all else. Even if you don’t like it. If you’re seeking truth, keep looking. People who’ve been doing something for a very long time are not necessarily experts, they may just lack imagination. Expertise is a demonstrable skill. What can’t be done, is merely another challenge, not a roadblock. You can carry on, because that’s what we do. Control is fleeting and illusory. Relax. No fear, no guilt, no regrets, look forward. If you feel you need faith, put faith in yourself and ask your friends to help. Do not fear death. Plan for it, because nobody gets out of this, alive.

@FionaMo70017675 This is my first book, Fiona. It’s been in contemplation for many years. I’m publishing every chapter on X. If I get to the end, I’ll try and bring them out as a book. 🙏😘

In case anyone was wondering, yes, that long white thing in my hand was a championship winning spliff that I made as a wedding present for John. That’s just how it was back then. I’m wearing the world’s first patchwork jacket, the one the started the global craze. We’re just outside the Registry Office in Hastings where John, who is gay, was about to marry Pam who became the mother of his children.

I haven’t decided, Jo. In truth, I don’t actually know the fate of Nigel, whether or not he’s even alive. My middle brother Chris died a few years ago. I didn’t find out for about eight months, during which time the authorities cremated and buried him, having made no effort to trace me and then threatened to prosecute me for not completing the registrar’s formalities. 🙈

What utter fucking bollocks.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS
