A death in the family was the reason for Guido going offline last week. The difficult times meant Mrs Fawkes had to leave her office in a rush, picking up baby Fawkes from the creche en route in a taxi for City Airport, bound for Bolton.

Struggling at the check-in counter with bags, pushchair, crying snotty baby and tickets, the many pinstriped ‘gentlemen’ around her ignored her clear difficulties. A familiar looking woman stepped forward and helped with the heavy bags. As a result the MP for Bolton West can rely on Mrs Fawkes’ support ever more.
