So, who is rushing out to buy Matt Hancock's new book?
I am a Scope Community Volunteer Adviser with knowledge of "life"!  Lived experience including employing personal assistants, being gay, sport & leisure inclusion & participation, mental health issues.  

What is the bravest thing you've ever said? asked the boy. 'Help,' said the horse.  'Asking for help isn't giving up,' said the horse. 'It's refusing to give up.”

    I won't be rushing out to buy his book, but I have to admit for a Tory he's not the worst politician in the world.

    I can't see what this advertising link has to do with book recommendations, & links to paid advertising are not allowed here. Please see: Community house rules | Disability charity Scope UK

    1963 "A slice of bread and jam" by Tommy Rattigan.

    first few chapters I couldn't stop laughing, last few chapters I couldn't stop crying, one of the best books I've ever read.
