    'We Need More Male Spaces': PM's Adviser on Men and Boys Warns of Suicide Crisis

    The Labour MP leading the Government's work on issues affecting men and boys has called for a revival of dedicated male spaces, arguing they are vital to tackling Britain's male suicide crisis. Speaking exclusively to Gloria De Piero on GB News in his first TV interview to be broadcast on Sunday, Jake Richards said communities had lost many of the institutions that once gave men a sense of purpose, identity and belonging. His intervention comes in the same week that former England manager Gareth Southgate released a documentary examining the pressures facing modern boys and young men. Mr Richards, who has been tasked by the Prime Minister with leading on the Government's men and boys' agenda, said Britain should do more to support places where men can come together and talk openly about their lives. "I definitely think that we need those cultural institutions where men have historically and continue to come together to talk about what's going on in their lives, to have that male space," he said. "There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. And indeed, it should be embraced and backed up." Richards said the disappearance of traditional industries and community institutions had left many men struggling to find the same sense of purpose previous generations enjoyed. "But for boys and men, there's a specific issue, because there is this cultural pressure to be the breadwinner, to have that masculine sense of purpose of achieving," he said. Hosted on Acast.

  2. Vote Labour in Scotland to OUST SNP, even if you don’t like Starmer and Reeves - Anas Sarwar

    Vote Labour in Scotland to OUST SNP, even if you don’t like Starmer and Reeves - Anas Sarwar

    ANAS Sarwar has urged people to vote Labour in Scotland, even if they don’t like Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves. In an exclusive GB News interview Mr Sarwar said he backed the Prime Minister, while admitting "things need to improve".  But he said the upcoming Holyrood elections were not about the PM or the Chancellor: they were about the future of Scotland. And Mr Sarwar believes, despite the state of the polls, Labour will go on to win and depose the SNP after nearly two years in power, saying they’d mirror the fight shown by the Scottish football team. He also spoke out to praise the Home Secretary commending the way she is tackling the immigration crisis. Asked about Labour’s election chances he told Ms De Piero: “In six months’ time, the choice is not going to be about who the UK Labour government is. “The choice is not going to be about who the Prime Minister is. Keir Starmer is not standing to be First Minister. Rachel Reeves is not standing to be First Minister. Nigel Farage is not standing to be First Minister. Me and John Swinney are standing to be First Minister. “And the choice that people have in that election in six months is, do we have a third decade of the SNP in charge with record long NHS waiting lists, our schools falling down the international league tables, billions of pounds of lost and wasted money and the priorities and, for example, the cultural issues that the SNP continue to pursue, or are we going to take a different direction with me as First Minister? “That's the choice, and I'm really confident when that choice is put in front of people in Scotland, they'll vote for that new direction.  “So we're kind of like the Scotland team qualifying for the World Cup. The underdog, always talked down but got over the line and made history, qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 28 years. Labour is going to do the same, winning for the first time in 20 years in Scotland.”  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
