I had the closest thing I have ever had to an out-of-body experience lying in bed one morning. I turned on the 'Today' programme and item four on the news was: 'The shadow chancellor has ruled himself out of the leadership.' I lay there thinking that's interesting then I realised it was me.

So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end.

I believe the best service to the child is the service closest to the child and children who are victims of neglect abuse or abandonment must not also be victims of bureaucracy. They deserve our devoted attention not our divided attention.
