Got the news about Harry Gration just as I started to host Barnsley College’s Excellence Awards.This would have been right up his street, he’d have loved it. Brilliant broadcaster, outstanding Yorkshireman and lovely bloke.

I’ve just met a bloke who provides end of life care to Alzheimer’s patients in their homes. He earns £8.05 an hour. Two weeks ago he worked 40 hours, last week just 19 because some had died. Doesn’t know his hours for next week. How did we get here?

Today my daughter and I left a bag in a taxi on the way to St Pancras with her college ID in it. Before we'd got to Sheffield, Taxi Driver Gerry, Badge no. 57487, had posted it back to us and sent proof of postage. Wouldn't take payment. Absolute gentleman.

He's paid a salary. He pays tax and NI on it. Then the rest is his. It's not licence fee money in the same way as the bloke who empties your bin does not have to account to anyone for how he spends "council tax" money.

Why do people like Katie Hopkins seem to think that being a refugee or asylum seeker is a bed of roses? You get a room in a B&B, and £38 a week to live on in a country where the press hate you and you don't speak the language, after running away from a war zone. Sounds rubbish.

"Remain" and "Leave" are just words. Flags are bits of cloth. Borders are lines that men drew. All I care about is this: When they've finished cocking about, will life for me, my family, my friends be tangibly better? Oh yeah, and which idiot ordered those ferries?

I've watched loads of Glastonbury. If you didn't like it, it's not for you. Just accept that eh, no need to slag it off. You don't need to let people know your opinion on everything. Just be positive, it's nicer. Elton was amazing.

Your house cost nothing, beer cost nothing, petrol was a quid a gallon. Uni cost nothing if you fancied getting an education. Buses were subsidised, life was a piece of cake. We had it so much easier than teens today, we just don’t like admitting it cos we cocked it up for them.

Funny that we didn’t get anything but the old family allowance growing up on Parsons Cross. Streets were deserted during the day and everyone paid rent. Different now? Is that progress?

Don’t get used to it. Call it out. You’re suffering, but you’re not a victim. Don’t let them use your illness as a shield because they think you’re fragile. You’re allowed to show them how strong you are, because your illness isn’t a weakness. It’s an illness.
