How We Keep Going

Luke Akehurst is my MP. Like me, he became physically disabled in adult life. It could happen to anyone. I guarantee that he has been told, "I don't know how you keep going." And, "If I were like you, I'd kill myself." And, "If I had a dog like you, I'd have it put down."

Today, he will be invited to enshrine those attitudes in the Statute Law, along with the comparable attitudes to the depression that his predecessor and close ally, Kevan Jones, has, as have I.

Using the hashtag #AssistUsToLive, the protest and vigil will be on all social media platforms from eight o'clock this morning. It will be held in person on College Green from 9:30.
