On the mantelpiece in Hazel Blears’s House of Commons office, alongside the obligatory pictures of constituents visiting parliament, sits the following framed poem:
I am not everybody
I am one
I cannot do everything
I can do some.
That which I can do
God expects me to do
With the help of God and each other.
