5 million people in the UK could be living with dangerously high blood pressure and have no idea.
Get your blood pressure checked out.
You can go to your local chemist for a test. You could avoid a stroke like what hit me.
And here’s some piano which is helping my recovery

I think probably my all time favourite of Shakespeare’s sonnets. RIP Patrick Stewart. What an amazing, extraordinary actor. And a staunch Labour man who once campaigned for Labour in Eyres Monsell back in the 2004 Leicester South by election!

10,000 cases of Ebola, and nearly 5,000 deaths. Each loss devastating a community.

My Budget today will help families with the pressures they face now.
It will back businesses and entrepreneurs, invest in Britain's future, and strengthen our national security.
A plan to get through this moment and build a stronger Britain.

We are ending the cliff edge on carers allowance.
We are grateful to the country's carers and campaigners who asked for this to be done.
Another long term problem left for years - now being resolved.

One year on from the massacre following the fall of El Fasher, we remember the over 6,000 victims of this appalling atrocity.
I’m grateful to members of the Sudanese diaspora, including from Darfur, who joined with the APPG for Sudan and South Sudan on this sombre occasion.

We’re offering a route off the streets this Christmas.
And we will keep working together to tackle the root causes of homelessness - and end rough sleeping for good.
"This moral mission of ours isn't just for Christmas, we're in it for the long haul."
