If you could be granted three wishes, what would they be ?

As I get older my health anxiety has gotten worse so, selfishly, I’d like to be like the Royals and have a specialist doctor on speed dial. That would be expensive but would reassure me - better than worrying about symptoms in the wee small hours.

Secondly, I’d wish for society’s ills - homelessness, mental health, modern day slavery, knife crime and the drug barons who run county lines - to be addressed and properly dealt with. These are a stain on our communities and sadden me.

Thirdly I like to see a fairer society. A true levelling up. Less useless university degrees which promise much and deliver little for our young people and instead, well funded vocational education (we all need plumbers for example!) and investment in apprenticeships while we still have older people about who can pass on their skill sets. Note how popular that programme ‘The Repair Shop’ has become!

Health to my loved ones.
Happiness to my loved ones.
The same to everyone else’s loved ones.

An end to all illness
An end to all wars
A new wish every week
