Sorry to interrupt your day, but I've just been diagnosed with dementia, and I'm going to need your help.

I'll need help when I can no longer button a shirt or recognise my own family.

My daughter will need help too. I worry this could ruin her life.

And we will all need help to find a cure to end the devastation of dementia.

I can't do this alone.

It will take a society to beat dementia, Alzheimer's Society.

This Easter at M&S, you'll find a selection of the yummias chocolate animals.

There's hiccup the hippo with his darling chubby little legs. And Sunny the

sloth beaming with his milk and white chocolate features. Toby the T-Rex, who's a bit green,

bit scary, but charming at the same time. And Ralph the Cavapoo. I almost don't want to bite

his scrumptious little nose right off, But I will. All of these cuties for just

£7 each. This is not just food. This is M&S food. Selected stores. Hello and welcome to the daily.

I'm Neil Patterson and you find me in our Westminster studio in the heart of central London

where I think it's fair to say the excitement is

building people have a spring in their step there's there's a certain something in the air the

bunting is all around us the reason of course the local elections are on Thursday and everyone

everyone myself included can't wait well look I know one person who is absolutely cocker hoop,

that's our deputy political editor, Sam Coates. I'm not being nasty here, but you do love this

kind of thing, don't you? Yes, because we spend 364 days a year kind of trying to work out

how things are going down. And it's a really important moment where

voters mark politicians' homework. Voters actually mark our homework. Have we got the mood right

here at Sky? Are we a bit off? Are things happening in the country that we're not quite sure about?
