Mike, We’ve made real progress today – 291 new

Mike,  We’ve made real progress today – 291 new Labour councillors elected, gaining control of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, Labour Mayors elected in Doncaster and North Tyneside and the fantastic Emma Lewell-Buck winning the South Shields by-election.  That’s good progress for Labour. You should be proud of what we’ve achieved today – I know I am.  We need to build on this now if we’re going to win in 2015. So please dig deep, and donate a few pounds to build a stronger party that will win where we came so close today.  Money raised now is worth a lot more to us than money we raise in 2015. With your help we can build a stronger campaigning organisation, and make a difference where we fell short today.  If you’ve done something to help these campaigns over the last few months – thank you. You’ve taken us a step closer to kicking David Cameron’s Government out in 2015. Over 80% of the areas that voted yesterday are represented by Tory MPs – and the results in places like Cannock, Crawley, Harlow, Hastings, Ipswich and Stevenage show that your hard work has paid off.  But today’s results show that some people are still asking if Labour can turn Britain around. They know the Tories can’t, but we’ve still got a lot of work to do to win their trust before 2015.  I passionately believe Labour can make a difference, and bring real lasting change on the big issues that people worry about, and we can make that case together.  But I need your help.  action.labour.org.uk/team2015  Thank you,  Ed

outline of a book on life

summary from my almost completed book  

i have to say it i did not live this drama called life i would never have believed it.

in the early chapters i examine my own childhood with an alcoholic,gambling addictive father and a long suffering mother who because of my fathers addictions often had to substitute food with her love.violence was almost a daily happening in the family home and i certainly received a lot of bruises along the way but it is the emotional impact that was although not seen externally caused the real hurt.

in the next three chapters i look at how from the age of 14 i myself was addicted to alcohol and how alcohol became my personal battle for over 30 years and my attempts to beat the drink.although i was very violent myself and i did and never would hit a female but many battles with other males and a temper of a typical taurean and the inner turmoil within myself and how it affected people around me.

then 2 chapters on lives lessons learned by me and how/why i studied psychology and counselling.my life was certainly on the up and up and appeared at this time i was over the worse of my own addiction and insecurities,

then chapters about my relationships etopic pregnancy,loved ones deaths,make ups but mostly break ups and the revenge of alcohol as an answer that i would never find at the bottom of the bottle but it was easy to ask the bottle for the answers

the final 6 chapters highlighting how mental health issues of a stepdaughter take the steps   taken to battle the police,the courts,and 8 reports into her mental health lead to years of her being in and out of prison for violence etc eventually a court ordering a 28 day full mental health assessment in a mental health hospital which i asked for 3 years earlier and found she had borderline personality disorder.

the concluding chapters about my battle with the mental health hospitals abuse and assaults,not just on my step daughter but other service users too.from allowing swallowing and then re-swallowing of batteries,suicide attempts rape allegations and how a very large group of mental health hospitals used twitter through a third party to try and discredit my name on twitter and other social networking sites-his reward a high paid job within the hospital group.

and so much more pain suffering and also the high points and there was a lot of them .

if any one would like a free copy over the next few weeks please ask and i will send it to you.

#bedroom tax-reply from my mp

Maybe the word test is a bit strong Mike - all legislation has to be considered as it impacts on existing legislation and the Bill Committee that deals with the detail would provide any challenges if they believed it to be in conflict. Sorry I can't really help with this one but rest assured I will continue to campaign for an end to this disgraceful policy.

Best wishes

Alex
