Now, some people think and see Penny Mordaunt as a vehicle for that. With a strong background in defence at the moment, a lot of people are very unhappy at the moment and the membership especially, but at the moment the general election is looming, this could be may, this could be in be in may, this could be in october, but conservatives october, but the conservatives need to that need to come in to that election.

This is the first scheduled daytime all lane shutdown on the m25 since it openedin shutdown on the m25 since it opened in 1986. Travel expert simon calder says it needs to be done. The main problem is that a three, m25 junction just a couple of miles away from here, when it was built in the 1980s, it was fine , but now theres so it was fine, but now theres so much traffic using it, and 80 of the traffic on the a3 wants to switch to the m25.

Good morning to you both. Well, im alongside the a im good. Thank well, im alongside the a im good. Thank you. Im alongside the a320 which is going through the a320 which is going through the very leafy village of ottershaw in surrey. Now ottershaw in surrey. Now ottershaw actually features in the h. G. Wells Science Fiction classic war of the worlds. Of course, about that famous invasion. And locals here tell me they feel like theyre being invaded by traffic. This is normally quite a quiet location population here in this village is actually under 3000 people. But today , tomorrow, up to 6 00 but today, tomorrow, up to 6 00 on monday morning, theyre being warned by national highways that they could face up to 6000 vehicles travelling through here every hour. Now, why is that a problem . Well, here, if you just pan around here, we can see this is actually the home to quite a major ambulance station. And ive been speaking to locals and theyve been telling me that theyre seriously concerned that if they do up with gridlock if they do end up with gridlock traffic, they could face traffic, that they could face problems. These ambulances, paramedics could face problems in responding to any emergencies down the end of this road. Down here we have a big roundabout which could potentially become blocked. They fear and therefore theyre encouraging people to heed that advice to take alternate routes, stay at home. They say , but do not travel they say, but do not travel through our village. Okay ray addison, thank you very much indeed. That is a bit of a worry, but for now at least, theres not gridlock traffic behind you, do you . Let us know if you today. If that affects you today. Gb views news. Com but for views at gb news. Com but for now to look through the top stories of today. Are stories of today. We are delighted joined by ceo delighted to be joined by ceo and of the youth vote and founder of the youth vote uk, cairns , and uk, alex cairns, and entrepreneur social entrepreneur and social commentator Joanna Jarjue. Really good to see you both this morning and we wanted to start with this story, the front page of the daily mail this morning. Pretty extraordinary, isnt it . A Penny Mordaunt a plot to crown Penny Mordaunt as the next leader of the tory party . The fourth, this would be since the 2019 elections. Its extraordinary. Joanna. Yeah i mean, to be honest, its not really a surprise. It seems as if every two seconds theres kind of a for a takedown of kind of a plot for a takedown of a Prime Minister even, you know, one of most popular ones, one of the most popular ones, bofis had one of the most popular ones, boris had a plot by Boris Johnson, had a plot by rishi it seems as rishi sunak, and it seems as if its of coming full its kind of all coming full circle now. And some would say that its karma, really, for rishi sunak and imagine that rishi sunak and id imagine that a people who were a lot of the people who were actually supporting Penny Mordaunt for mordaunt or looking for a takedown rishi sunak are also takedown of rishi sunak are also massive supporters of Boris Johnson and kind of come from that camp. But then the same that camp. But then at the same time look at Penny Mordaunt that camp. But then at the same time you ok at Penny Mordaunt that camp. But then at the same time you know, enny mordaunt that camp. But then at the same time you know, as ny mordaunt that camp. But then at the same time you know, as somebodynt that camp. But then at the same time you know, as somebody whos and, you know, as somebody whos not supporter and i kind not a tory supporter and i kind of think that she seems like more of the decent side of the tory party, quite level headed. Obviously you know, shes fulfilled certain roles. We all saw her in the coronation you know, holding the thing and, you know, holding the thing and, you know, know, all of know, out of, you know, all of them. It seems as if shes the most kind of decent really. So its to me that its quite surprising to me that people at right side people who are at the right side of the party and the moderates are in to bring her in, are coming in to bring her in, because it seems as if, you know, theyre trying oust know, theyre trying to oust rishi because hes not rishi sunak because hes not extreme enough for them it extreme enough for them when it comes tackling comes to, you know, tackling migration about rwanda. And migration and about rwanda. And i the people i just wonder if the people who are right of are at the right side of the party will actually what party will actually get what they Penny Mordaunt, they want from Penny Mordaunt, but youve made a really but i think youve made a really good there, is that good point there, which is that she that broad appeal, she does have that broad appeal, doesnt she, across the party. She does have that broad appeal, doeand she, across the party. She does have that broad appeal, doeand thats ross the party. She does have that broad appeal, doeand thats whatthe party. She does have that broad appeal, doeand thats what the party. She does have that broad appeal, doeand thats what the tory. And thats what the tory party isnt it, alex . Yeah. But i actually think that sitting at that theyve been sitting at home watching cards home watching house of cards because fact that theyre because the fact that theyre about another prime about to ditch another Prime Minister actually minister is actually mentor. I was backstage to joanna, minister is actually mentor. I vireckon backstage to joanna, minister is actually mentor. I vireckon thereszstage to joanna, minister is actually mentor. I vireckon theres going to joanna, minister is actually mentor. I vireckon theres going to be nna, i reckon theres going to be a Netflix Documentary after the election. Its going to be all of reality of this plotting and the reality is matter who is like, it doesnt matter who they in as leader, right . They put in as leader, right . Like the proof is in the pudding, like theyre trying to get migration figures down. Theyre people get migration figures down. The ine people get migration figures down. The ine housing people get migration figures down. Theine housing ladder. 3le get in the housing ladder. Theyre to get interest theyre trying to get Interest Rates of is rates down. None of that is happening. Doesnt really happening. So it doesnt really matter whos Prime Minister, right . Whoever right . They could put whoever and make difference. And it wont make a difference. Think it will . So do you not think it will . So do you not think it will . Think its too late. No. I think its too late. Theyre behind in the polls. Theyre behind in the polls. Theyre this because they theyre doing this because they want regroup the want to regroup. Regroup the narrative, it, but its narrative, i get it, but its not to make difference. Not going to make a difference. Whos what if they get but what if what if they get that right, but then they that bit right, but then they get Something Else wrong . I mean, is to get mean, who is going to get everything right . There everything right . Has there ever been got been someone thats got everything this everything right . And this is the you know, the problem. So, you know, they might solve problem, but might solve one problem, but then problem. Then theres another problem. Seems as if the so it just seems as if the tory Party Overall have become more than ever more divided than weve ever kind of witnessed. I think kind of witnessed. And i think that tory party themselves that the tory party themselves and the mps dont have enough confidence in themselves. I mean, are mean, over 60 of them are stepping down for the next general election. Some of general election. And some of them, people like them, you know, people like theresa and theresa may, real veterans. And then got some then obviously youve got some people some of the people that maybe some of the nafion people that maybe some of the nation might quite nation might actually be quite glad the back of, like glad to see the back of, like matt and kwasi kwarteng, matt hancock and kwasi kwarteng, that best that we havent had the best experiences with. And i think experiences with. And so i think that party almost needs that the tory party almost needs to some time, take to take some time, maybe take a step back and regroup and actually out, you know, actually figure out, you know, what actual principles are what their actual principles are so know they even so that we know who they even are theyre so divided are because theyre so divided at the moment. Do what it is about do you know what it is about penny think it might Penny Mordaunt . I think it might have coronation the have been the coronation and the sword, strikes me as sword, as she just strikes me as the that you the Prime Minister that you would an itv drama. Would see on an itv drama. Do you not think she looks Prime Ministerial . Have been like cobra have you been like cobra wouldnt on sky . 100. Wouldnt she on sky . Yeah, 100. Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. I wonder if that so i mean i wonder if that carries over to the tory party what do you think at home, do you if rishi were to you think if rishi sunak were to be Penny Mordaunt be replaced, is Penny Mordaunt the to go . Do us know the way to go . Do let us know what you gb views at gb what you think. Gb views at gb news. Com. Emma emm yeah. And id like to talk about middleton, because yeah. And id like to talk abo really middleton, because yeah. And id like to talk abo really confused on, because yeah. And id like to talk abo really confused here. Cause im really confused here. Everyone where is she . What is she why did she photoshop she doing . Why did she photoshop this . What . That. She doing . Why did she photoshop this . Cant what . That. She doing . Why did she photoshop this . Cant we what . That. She doing . Why did she photoshop this . Cant we just what . That. She doing . Why did she photoshop this . Cant we just leave that. She doing . Why did she photoshop this . Cant we just leave hert. Why cant we just leave her alone . What is going on here . Alone . What is going on here . Whats your. Whats your thoughts on this . I think its tough, because naturally, you know, looking this know, if i was looking at this and didnt all and we didnt have all the context everything context of everything thats gone royal family gone on in the royal family previously , we. Previously, we. Be saying leave her i would be saying leave her alone. But same time, alone. But at the same time, i think that the royal family have made by setting made a huge mistake by setting a certain when comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. When comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. And when comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. And i when comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. And i think comes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. And i think that mes made a huge mistake by setting a ce meghan. And i think that when to meghan. And i think that when youve branded meghan as youve kind of branded meghan as the thats demanding the one thats demanding privacy, really privacy, but then not really realising that shes got a particular role and a duty and has to kind of be paraded in front us no matter what, then front of us no matter what, then you up a position now you end up in a position now when needs the when kate really needs the privacy cant get it privacy and she cant get it because so used being because were so used to being in their business and finding out everything about them, even after given birth , you after theyve given birth, you know, set that precedent know, theyve set that precedent with the women. What if its a mental what if what if its a Mental Health issue . What its health issue . What if its Something Like that . Or a long, ongoing physical, thing that she doesnt want to talk about and shes never talked about . You know, we are we not just pushing someone who be in someone who might be in a vulnerable position, pushing them know, to the end of them to you know, to the end of their tether . Yeah, but you know what it is. Its because everyone sees the royal family as, like, ambassadors. So theyre thinking, at home. Thinking, well, shes at home. And people controversially and some people controversially will to will be like, well, we need to see her. Shes like the face of multiple theyre multiple charities. Theyre basically unfortunately, with the theyre not the royal family, if theyre not seen, like, seen, people are like, well, whats the of and whats the point of them . And i know sounds harsh, but you know that sounds harsh, but you know, is some person know, this is not some person that work from home that she cant work from home like to front of, like she has to be in front of, like she has to be in front of, like the media. She has to be representing charities. And she might struggling. But might be struggling. But unfortunately, think might be struggling. But unfort the ely, think might be struggling. But unfort the royal think might be struggling. But unfort the royal family,� |k might be struggling. But unfort the royal family, to be about the royal family, to be honest, them are quite, honest, a lot of them are quite, you know, people dont like them, lot people them, but k a lot of people like her. Family her. So the royal family brown are thinking, need are thinking, well, we need a like william are like like her and william are like the future. Well shes been described as the goose 100. I mean, the golden goose 100. I mean, yeah, they on a lot, yeah, they rely on her a lot, dont i mean, front dont they . I mean, shes front page whenever page of the newspapers whenever she its been she steps out. Yeah. Its been amazing photos amazing actually seeing photos of morning. How much of her this morning. How much we all her. Know, we all miss her. You know, we havent seen her since just after does have an after christmas. It does have an impact on the royal family not having centre. Having kate front and centre. Shes alone. Yeah, just wish shes alone. Yeah, because think its really because you think its really unfair, shes just, because you think its really unfe know, shes just, because you think its really unfeknow, shes shes just, because you think its really unfeknow, shes sohes just, because you think its really unfeknow, shes so loved jst, because you think its really unfeknow, shes so loved and you know, shes so loved and clearly theres something going on want people on that she doesnt want people to know about. So just. So can we just. What do you think about with that saga that that whole photoshop saga that happened . Call happened . Im not going to call it because i think it a scandal, because i think actually been of actually theres been a lot of sympathy for her, what do you think about her being the one to apologise do think apologise for that . Do you think that apologise for that . Do you think tha well, get the well, then you get the conspiracy theorists who say it wasnt was apologising. Wasnt her that was apologising. It someone mean, we it was someone else. I mean, we dont all these sorts dont know with all these sorts of things, you get. You of things, you only get. You only you you only know what you see. You dont actual truth of dont know the actual truth of whats i just i dont whats going on. I just i dont know something about her. Shes really her. Really special to her. She is. Just wish people she is. I just wish people would give her a break. Let would just give her a break. Let her shes ready. Her talk when shes ready. That they would i wish that they would actually her a more. Actually protect her a bit more. I because i realise. Yeah, because it seems their pr is seems as if. Yeah, their pr is just being terrible really, when it comes to protecting the princess wales and having her princess of wales and having her take the rap for it, even if she did it. I think that was did do it. I think that was quite unfair really, and they should had , you know, a bit should have had, you know, a bit of a better strategy to and i think it would have been a better strategy give us a bit better strategy to give us a bit because lets forget that because lets not forget that the actually divulged the king has actually divulged a lot comes to his health lot when it comes to his health issues. So would have been issues. So it would have been good just to get a bit and then actually kind of play off that sympathy. If you to good sympathy. If you want to be good and kind of strategic. Have it both ways but can you have it both ways , suppose, joanna, because the , i suppose, joanna, because the king, being so king, as you say, is being so open honest about his open and honest about his diagnosis. Then we have diagnosis. But then we have catherine, wales, diagnosis. But then we have cath being wales, diagnosis. But then we have cath being quite wales, diagnosis. But then we have cath being quite traditionals, still being quite traditional and wanting complete privacy. Still being quite traditional and wan have omplete privacy. Still being quite traditional and wan have itnplete privacy. Still being quite traditional and wan have it bothe privacy. Still being quite traditional and wan have it both ways . Cy. Can you have it both ways . I promise well come back this promise well come back to this in moment. But just some in just a moment. But just some breaking i to breaking news. I want to get your reaction the economy your reaction to the economy minister. Gething has minister. Vaughan gething has been next welsh been elected as the next welsh labour going to labour leader. Hes going to succeed drakeford as the succeed Mark Drakeford as the first minister of wales, he will succeed Mark Drakeford, who has held the position since 2018. I mean, Vaughan Gethin in wales is a huge name, isnt he, alex . Yeah he is. Yeah he is. I mean, he was the Health Minister during covid. A lot of people trust him. You know hes quite, you know on the ground. A lot of people him. Lot of people like him. So i think good. Think thatll be good. But interestingly in interestingly i think in the next i think that next election i still think that in wales, unlike the rest of the country, were really country, people were really unhappy mile an unhappy about the 20 mile an hour some people hour situation. Some people think that were too harsh think that wales were too harsh and again, i, you and lockdown. So again, i, you know, i like him but i think he is still a bit of a marmite figure though to be honest. Okay. Okay. All right. Well really good to get response to that. To get your response to that. Breaking that vaughan breaking news that Vaughan Gethin the next first gethin is the next first minister of wales that has been announced, this announced, in cardiff this morning. Cardiff morning. Are we going to cardiff 7 morning. Are we going to cardiff . Yes we are. This isnt live but these are pictures from a little bit earlier on this morning. Well thank you, boris and carolyn and joe for the introduction to the event. And thank you to the welsh labour staff and the team and the Procedures Committee who have run a typically well organised campaign. The first organised campaign. The first thing to do is to pay tribute to mark. Much has already been said about mark as a details man, but he was the right leader at the right time in the pandemic and it is true that we will be forever in his debt to his forensic approach to Public Policy through that time. But too little is said about the heart that went into it, to the deep and unwavered devotion to fairness to wales as a community, as a people , as community, as a people, as a fabnc community, as a people, as a fabric of family. Community, as a people, as a fabric of family. At the hardest fabric of family. At the hardest of times, he made us feel safer. He made us feel proud, and he always made everyone aware that we each have a part to play. A victory speech there from Vaughan Gethin, who is going to succeed Mark Drakeford as wales and he looks good and he does. Whats with everyone looking like actors and actresses at the moment . So we have our own barack obama moment. I mean, he has he has just made history. Made history. He is the first black first minister of wales. Yeah, i mean, its significant. Hes made it look good. Hes made it look good. Yeah he does. What do you make it joanna i think its great. You know, i think that the labour particular and labour party in particular and as i dont think as a member, i dont think theyve that much diversity theyve had that much diversity when their when it comes to their leadership. Actually leadership. And actually particularly it particularly ive noticed it more comes to women more when it comes to women leaders, its to kind of leaders, so its good to kind of get that, you know, at least some diversity comes to, some diversity when it comes to, race this. Id be race within this. Id be interested see what he does. Interested to see what he does. I think that it will be quite difficult like alex difficult for him. Like alex said, in, in wales. And just because as if whenever because i feel as if whenever theres kind of a branding, especially last 14 especially over the last 14 years about what labour can possibly do, people say, well, look at wales, know, theyre look at wales, you know, theyre failing y and z. Thats failing in x, y and z. Thats kind the thing that the kind of the thing that the tories always but hopefully tories always use. But hopefully going next election, he going into the next election, he can that out and can kind of keep that out and get bit more support as well. Get a bit more support as well. From westminster and be able to do a more as well for the do a lot more as well for the labour party. What do you think . Alex, what do you think . Alex, what do you think . Agree actually. Yeah, i agree actually. I think lot people will be think a lot of people will be like, you know, the change candidate sure hell candidate, im sure hell come in. Know, think mark in. You know, i think Mark Drakeford, mean he doesnt drakeford, i mean he doesnt look like him. Right. Mark drakeford was boring like drakeford was quite boring like he was a bit mundane like. And yeah, i know quite and yeah, i know thats quite harsh say , but i think, you harsh to say, but i think, you know, itll be interesting to see gets on. See how it gets on. Yeah.

Now its been a big week for the Royal Household from Meghan Markle relaunching her instagram brand, the princess of wales trying her hand at photoshop and prince harry and Prince William separately praising dianas legacy for the charitys 25th anniversary. Its been a busy week. It sure has. So who better to unpick all the latest than the royal commentator and friend of mine, jennie bond . How are you . Lovely. Very well, thank you pete. Very well, thank you pete. Yeah, youre looking good, both of you. Yeah. Thank you very much. And you too. So. Okay, the feuding brothers, lets talk about this. Harry and william, are ever to make up . Are they ever going to make up . I mean, it just seems to be one minute. They seem like theyre going to get it back together. Then the next minute theyre completely separated again. Whats thoughts . Completely separated again. Wh well, thoughts . Completely separated again. Wh well, thinkrghts . Completely separated again. Wh well, think this. . Completely separated again. Wh well, think this is the well, i think this is the clearest illustration that this relationship absolutely relationship is going absolutely nowhere , i mean, they couldnt nowhere, i mean, they couldnt even appear virtually at the same event, the diana legacy awards. And that means a great deal to them. Theyre both very supportive of that, that awards, whatever it is, organisation , whatever it is, organisation, and theyve decided i think it was probably william decided that he couldnt even appear in the same room with harry on a screen from california. So william spoke first, and then harry appeared virtually. What a sad situation and how desperate their mum would have been, i personally think that she would have found a way some time ago to sort this out, and maybe the rift would never have happened, but im sure she would have knock their Heads Together and said, come on, boys, youve got to sort this out. To sort this out. It also seems when our queen was here, things seemed a lot more sort of together. Seems to be so much separation going on. Well, they in tricky , tricky well, they in tricky, tricky waters. It has to be said these first three months have been desperately sad, we have the william and harry saga, but now , william and harry saga, but now, they are looking very thin on they are looking very thin on the ground. I dont think thats a problem in itself for the royal dont buy into royal family. I dont buy into this idea that this whole idea that the monarchy is in crisis. Think monarchy is in crisis. I think well through just well come through this just as well come through this just as we years. Been we have over 35 years. Ive been reporting this family , there reporting on this family, there have many crises, and have been many, many crises, and it will come good, i think, but it will come good, i think, but it is a very changing picture with social media the way it is. And that is an evil place, particularly, i think, when it comes to celebrity and the royals, and i personally feel so sad that catherine has had to at z be made aware of , be made aware of what 7 , be made aware of what is . Least be made aware of what is being said about her on social media, and this breaks my heart because i just think this is a woman in the prime of life who has been cut down, failed in some way. Thats taken out of the public gaze for three months. And she deserves the time and the space, and she deserves just not to have people speculate about her health, her innards, her body, her mind. Innards, her body, her mind. Its too much. Yeah. I mean, i was saying before you know, there could be a Mental Health issue going on or a long Term Physical Health problem she might not to problem she might not want to talk about. Doesnt have to talk about. She doesnt have to talk about. She doesnt have to talk everything. You know, talk about everything. You know, people shes people are still shes still a human being at the of the human being at the end of the day. And just feel that day. And i just feel that everyones of pushing and everyones sort of pushing and pushing pushing and she pushing and pushing and she should alone. Should just be left alone. Thats my opinion. Agree with you. Well, i agree with you. Absolutely. A human being absolutely. She is a human being and that a very public role and that is a very public role she shes a goldfish she has. Shes in a goldfish bowl. I mean, i dont know how any of us will survive the scrutiny that royal family scrutiny that the royal family have withstand. Have to withstand. Jenny, i wanted to ask you about Meghan Markles new brand american riviera orchard and more specifically, the timing of that announcement, because it was quite remarkable, wasnt it really . An hour before the diana really . An hour before the diana legacy awards, this went live on instagram. Do you think this was a coincidence, or do you think that was calculating calculated from meghan and team meghan . From meghan and team meghan . Well, you know, i am not a conspiracy theorist. I refuse to be put in that corner. So i think the best of people, if i possibly can, it is slightly strange , but you know, probably strange, but you know, probably whenever she launched that website , there would have been website, there would have been criticism, there would have been some royal event going on and people would say, oh, i mean, she wasnt going try and she wasnt going to try and upstage her husband was upstage her. Her husband was she . Was taking part she . And harry was taking part in that ceremony as well. So i dont think it was vindictive at all on meghans part. And i really wish her well. What a brilliant website it looks. Its exactly what she should be doing. Great at all that stuff. See, thats why we love you, jenny. She always positive . Yes. Neven jenny. She always positive . Yes. Never. Never like you in that way. Never says a bad thing about anyone. Thats why we love you. Oh, jenny. Lovely to see you. Thank so much your thank you so much for your company this morning. Thank you very let us know very much indeed. Do let us know what you make about of that. What you make about any of that. Whether Meghan Markles new whether its Meghan Markles new lifestyle shes lifestyle brand, you know shes going selling like going to be selling things like jams and glasses, jams and spreads and glasses, things but to be things like that. But to be fair, thats what jenny just said. When harry and meghan left the royal family, they said they wanted to be financially independent. To be fair to independent. So to be fair to her, on she started a her, on them, she started a business doing it. Business there and doing it. Yeah thats how you do it. Yeah and thats how you do it. Thats you money. Thats how you make money. Got think when people, you got to think when people, if sit around and dont if people sit around and dont do people criticise. If people sit around and dont do youre ople criticise. If people sit around and dont do youre outs criticise. If people sit around and dont do youre outs critictrying so when youre out there trying to yeah yeah. To go for it, yeah i think yeah. Its a bad thing. And for its not a bad thing. And for many people sure they would many people im sure they would say that shes say its better that shes making than making netflix making jam than making netflix documentaries the royal documentaries about the royal family.

And this weeks greatest briton is nikki scott. Yep, nikki is the founder of scottys little soldiers, an incredible charity which offers bereavement support and care for children whose parents have died while serving in the armed forces. Yes, nikki founded the charity in 2010 after her husband, lee scotty scott, was killed in 2009 while on active service in afghanistan, with the second royal tank regiment. Now, nikkis story is heartbreakingly but unfortunately not unusual as scottys little soldiers are currently providing bereavement support for over 650 military children and have pledged to support over 1000 bereaved military children by 2030. Thats incredible. It is just the most incredible work. So, nikki, incredible work. So, nikki, welcome to saturday morning live and a huge congratulations. You are this weeks greatest briton and you are truly incredible. The work that you do. Tell us a little bit more about scottys little bit more about scottys little soldiers , because this is little soldiers, because this is so important to you and so personal. Yeah. So, its not just me, by the way. Theres, like, a team behind me, and our supporters are incredible. But, i set up scottys because when lee was first killed, obviously, you know, our world fell apart. I was 28. I just thought lifes done. You know, kai was five, brooke was seven months. And then as time went on, i started to realise that, you know, i started to think about how many other bereaved children are going this. There was going through this. There was such support for such limited support for bereaved military children. So many military many great uk military charities, but real limited support for the children. So yeah , i didnt quite know what yeah, i didnt quite know what i was doing or how to do it, but had the passion and drive and yeah, the response been yeah, and the response has been incredible. There are so many incredible. There are so many children. Seeing the children. Are you seeing the most photos here of lee . You make the most beautiful couple. Do you even begin to couple. How do you even begin to explain children what explain to your children what happened to their dad . Are that the hardest thing youve you know, you do. And actually, i feel like even now, its like nearly 15 years on, it can still , you know, you still can still, you know, you still have those moments where it just feels unreal and actually you tell your child once, but actually, you know, they were five and brooke was seven months, so ive probably had to tell them like a loads of times throughout life. And as throughout their life. And as they they understand they grow and they understand more, ask questions they grow and they understand morithey ask questions they grow and they understand morithey want; questions they grow and they understand morithey want to questions they grow and they understand morithey want to know, estions they grow and they understand morithey want to know, youns they grow and they understand morithey want to know, you know, and they want to know, you know, you just say he was killed you cant just say he was killed in action. They want to know in action. They now want to know where, happened where, how, why, what happened that you know. So that morning, what you know. So youre over again and youre going over it again and again and as grow. Again and again as they grow. What point . Because and at what point . Because ive always wondered this. When someone a someone has gone through a bereavement yourself. Bereavement like yourself. Yeah. At point turn around at what point do you turn around and well, okay ive, and think, well, okay ive, ive, ive been able to sort of do as best as i can to overcome this bereavement. Now im going to go and help others. At what point did that happen. Oh, its all a blur if im honest, i was in a really dark place and because i had two young children, i was having to get out of bed. You know, kai was like, i want coco pops. I want coco pops, you know . So i was to up, i was having to get up, but, i didnt here, im didnt want to be here, if im honest. Know, was really honest. You know, i was really in a dark. It was. Lee was just. Yeah. He was 26, and he was just a, you a real life full of a, you know, a real life full of life and. But i went on holiday nine months after lee was killed. I didnt want to go. That was another. I was like, i dont want to go on holiday and watch all having fun. Watch families all having fun. But my cousin was like, come on, come come come on, youre going to come and it was that i saw and it was at that point i saw kai in the swimming kai laughing in the Swimming Pool his cousins, i pool with his cousins, and i kind it so corny, kind of had. It sounds so corny, but had that, like lee would but i had that, like lee would be going like, need be going nuts. Like, i need to. I help children. I need to help these children. And started to and then, yeah, started to wonder others had wonder how many others had experienced the death of a parent werent getting the parent and werent getting the right parent and werent getting the rigiit is incredible to you, it is so incredible to you, andifs it is so incredible to you, and its such a testament you it is so incredible to you, and yousuch a testament you it is so incredible to you, and yousuch table ament you it is so incredible to you, and yousuch table t0|ent you it is so incredible to you, and yousuch table to take you that you were able to take your grief your there grief and your pain, and there was much pain there and put was so much pain there and put it and channel it into something as incredible scottys little as incredible as scottys little soldiers. Just its soldiers. It is just its a testament to your strength and also the fact that you could see that there gap there where that there was a gap there where people needed support and help, justyeah. And there still is. Yeah. And there still is. Dont get me like weve dont get me wrong. Like weve done work, offer many done amazing work, offer so many Different Services now to these children actually children because actually its not just about death of not just about the death of their its also these. Their parent, its also these. If youre living in a military garrison, thats your home because living it. I was because youre living it. I was living an house. Thats living in an army house. Thats kai school. You you move often kai school. You you move often move moved back to move back to i moved back to where my family were. So that was. Youre just when youre used that military community used to that military community where around you where everyone around you serves, then youre out of serves, and then youre out of it. So scottys is about also bringing them back to that community again and being around others who truly understand what its like. And your children obviously are always going to be proud of their dad. Yeah, i hope so, yeah, definitely. But the flip side, too, but on the flip side, too, theyre going to be proud theyre going to be very proud of because youre doing of you because what youre doing is showing youre is youre youre showing youre both showing how both of you as parents do Amazing Things for your community. And thank you, the people. And thats, thats thats huge. Yeah. And i also just i think its really important, if you dont mind me just quickly saying that its , you know, lee was killed its, you know, lee was killed in served in the in action. He served in the army, much army, but scottys is very much about a whole. About the military as a whole. So doesnt matter if, you so it doesnt matter if, you know, theres people know, if theres people out there listening, it doesnt matter whether raf, army, matter whether its raf, army, navy they all served navy reserves. They all served our country. It doesnt matter whether they died by suicide, killed in action, illness and even now, supporting children of veterans as well because they served our country. They deserve to have their children looked after. So that yeah, its really important to say, nikki, how proud feel . Proud do you feel . You allow yourself to feel do you allow yourself to feel proud you see, can we get proud when you see, can we get those again of those pictures up again of Remembrance Day sunday . You Remembrance Day sunday . And you will from will recognise this scene from remembrance sunday. You will Remembrance Day sunday. You will see little soldiers. See scottys little soldiers.

Its the first scheduled daytime all lanes shut down on the m25 since it opened in 1986. Travel expert simon calder says it needs to be done. The main problem is that a3, m25 junction just a couple of miles away from here, when it was built in the 1980s, it was fine , but now theres so much fine, but now theres so much traffic using it and 80 of the traffic using it and 80 of the traffic on the a3 wants to switch to the m25. Youre always switch to the m25. Youre always getting hold ups there. Very high accident rate there.

So, ray, tell us whats going on and how people are feeling about this. Because it looks it doesnt look too bad at the moment. Yeah. Ive stood on alongside the a320, which takes us through the a320, which takes us through the leafy village of ottershaw in surrey. This is part of that diversion that weve been talking about between m25 junction ten and 11. Now about 3000 people live here in this village. They were warned that up to 6000 vehicles could be travelling along this road every hourin travelling along this road every hour in both directions , and hour in both directions, and that did cause some concern. However, so far , although weve however, so far, although weve seen an increase in lorries, they say theres been less cars than they expected. This is what locals had to say. Locals had to say. Well, it might do and a lot of people were worried. Obviously ive just done the local park run. They normally have plus. Theres have 100 or plus. Theres probably only 50 today where people havent so yeah, people havent driven. So yeah, id be more concerned about the ambulance just down the road there that theyre able to get out. If theres any problems as well. Ive got a problem. Its brilliant. Its brilliant. Every day. Close it every day. Why. Well because theres no traffic. Well because theres no traffic. We can go anywhere. My wife got to work in 15 minutes this morning. Yes, absolutely. Ive just been to addlestone and back. Addlestone is one of the areas supposed to the areas which is supposed to have been through to have been diverted through to increase of traffic. Increase the amount of traffic. I wont say its completely deserted, but for a saturday morning it is. There is no queue down to the roundabout here on the chobham road. Normally youve got about 10 or 11 cars queuing up. Nothing. What is happened , what has happened is happened, what has happened is that publicity is put out to people dont travel and theyre not. So as were hearing there some concerns about the local ambulance station which is up the road, there. So far, though, the road, there. So far, though, nothing has materialised. South east Coast Ambulance saying if we do come through, please get out of our way. But so far no heavy disruption here in ottershaw. Yeah ray addison so far so good. Lets hope that way.

This is a, i dont know why im bringing this up, but its the guardian eight. Its on the guardian page eight. Mushrooms tampons. Let mushrooms for tampons. Now, let me explain. Ocado customers me just explain. Ocado customers were the least likely to have received a substitution 17, but it still managed, that 17 had ordered tampons, but got mushrooms instead. Now im a bit confused about this because obviously theres not mushroom. Yeah. Very good. Youre yeah. Very good. Youre saying if you use them, what were you trying to say . Well, im not a tampon. Theres not much room. Thats what youre trying to say. Yeah. No, you know exactly what i mean. I just dont the mean. I just dont get the concept that. Concept of that. Its supermarket but its supermarket swaps, but supermarket wrong. Because you cant put wrong. Mushroom. ause you cant put a mushroom. Yeah, someone like me yeah, but someone like me reading would think, oh, reading that would think, oh, is it substitution . Thats why it a substitution . No thats why im let me tell you now, im saying, let me tell you now, you put mushroom. You cannot put a mushroom. And our second, where a tampon should joanna can tampon should be and joanna can back on that one. Back me up on that one. Second that. Ill second that. Ill second that. Did i bring this one up . Why did i bring this one up . I saw it, and was like, i just saw it, and i was like, what your what clearly caught your eye . On the topic. The expert on the topic. I know you can some really know you can get some really random swaps, cant you, in your supermarket do supermarket swaps when they do this. E youre e youre ordering so when youre ordering onune so when youre ordering online dont have the online and they dont have the item so give you item that you want. So give you a yeah, a substitute item. Yeah, sometimes very, very random. Yeah. So i actually used to work part time at waitrose. And yeah. So i actually used to virememberme at waitrose. And yeah. So i actually used to viremember we at waitrose. And yeah. So i actually used to viremember we used|itrose. And yeah. So i actually used to viremember we used to ose. And yeah. So i actually used to viremember we used to havernd yeah. So i actually used to viremember we used to have to do i remember we used to have to do this and it was quite stressful. And times, and to be honest, at times, sometimes know, sometimes lets say, you know, if have strawberries, if they dont have strawberries, you think, let me you might just think, oh, let me put raspberries in, but just dont its dont understand how its completely will completely different item will be different aisles like supermarket box. I mean, because sainsburys are of a problem at are having a bit of a problem at the they . Where are having a bit of a problem at the where they . Where are having a bit of a problem at the where theirthey . Where are having a bit of a problem at the where their techs where are having a bit of a problem at the where theirtechs gone, they where all their techs gone, their gone down. So its their techs gone down. So its going anyone wanting going to be anyone wanting mushrooms substitute. Its mushrooms as a substitute. Its not happen. Not going to happen. Going get anything, youre going to get anything, probably but if they probably nothing. But if they get tomorrow, they be get it tomorrow, they might be able difference. Able to taste the difference. Good, very very good. Oh very good, very very good. Oh very good, very very good. I love that hes delighted with himself. Thats excited. No, but this is this is serious isnt it . So this is the vast majority of online deliveries today will not able fulfilled, not be able to be fulfilled, says sainsburys , because says sainsburys, because theyve suffered technical issues stores. I mean, issues at some stores. I mean, this is the thing, technology is great. Whilst it works. Joanna. Joanna. Exactly. And actually when i saw the mushroom versus tampon thing, the first thing i thought was, know, when it was, oh god, you know, when it gets a point where there gets to a point where there isnt people, you like isnt people, you know, like alex years ago who were actually packing manually, it packing it manually, when it becomes machines, becomes just machines, just i well, i dont know how well, i dont really know how i actually would pick, you know, put a correlation between a tampon and a mushroom. That would be very, very bad in terms of cases eyes actual of the cases eyes actual capability. Just of capability. But it just kind of shows how reliant we are on technology. And ive been really guilty of being one of those people thats like, fine, if were going to have a, you know, cashless society. I only ever have my iphone. Everythings apple pay, everythings done through my phone. But actually when down, when it goes down, its a disaster. And we saw it as well disaster. And we saw it as well yesterday mcdonalds as yesterday with mcdonalds as well. It systems going well. There it systems going down. Then this it down. And then also this it really does cause chaos. Then everybody gets on twitter. Its a when instagram goes a bit like when instagram goes down well. Down as well. Everyone to twitter, everyone runs to twitter, instagram complain. Instagram and complain. So can be, you know, quite bad. Are we too reliant on technology, especially in our shops, you think . Shops, do you think . Think we are. But i still i think we are. But i still wouldnt get rid of it. You know i would you love to i would still. You know, love to go that direction because it go in that direction because it happens in in a blue happens once in a, in in a blue moon. I never carry cash anyway. And its small inconvenience. And its a small inconvenience. Maybe year for maybe one day in a year for a whole load of convenience. Interesting what you said, because just dawned on me because it just dawned on me that the other my that that the other day my daughter, princess, she said to me, no, instagrams gone me, oh no, instagrams gone down. I was like, and its not, its not on. I said, i know i get what you mean, but whats the problem, well, its down like it was a world, a huge world issue. And, you know, times have changed like that. Yeah, because i would have never i mean, in our, in our day, i cant believe im actually saying, you know what .

These children are also be also veterans and should be treated heroes. Treated like heroes. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Well, do keep those of you coming in really, really good to hear from you this morning. And now women now were talking about women having babies a later age, having babies at a later age, arent this morning we are arent we. This morning we are tara tana ramsay sorry Victoria Coren Mitchell and miranda kerr are just some of the women in the limelight that are having children at an older age. Yes. Culture, and economy culture, society and the economy has changed over the has changed so much over the past years. And now births past few years. And now births among women over has risen by among women over 50 has risen by 15. You believe so . Is it 15. Would you believe so . Is it really as simple as quantity over quality when it comes to your fertility . Well, to answer this, we are joined by fertility and nutrition coach claire inniss. Really good to see you this morning, claire. And were talking about quantity over quality or more quality over quantity. Because if women are waiting longer to have children and we know that they are, you have much fewer eggs. But your message is its about the quality of them. Yep. Absolutely. So my message is the quantity. The amount of eggs you have is completely outwith your control. We can do nothing about that. But the quality. Yes that does decline over age. But the three months before an egg is ovulated is pivotal and if you we can make massive lifestyle changes. The three months before an egg is ovulated to improve its quality by improving egg quality, does two really important things. It improves the chance of actually becoming an embryo and it adds extra protection against miscarriage. So its massive. And i cant believe everyone isnt talking about this. Yeah, i feel like thats not something thats out there in the public realm. So its actually the three months before youre conceive that youre looking to conceive that youre looking to conceive that you really focusing on you should be really focusing on your what can women your health. What can women be doing time . Your health. What can women be doiimy time . Your health. What can women be doiimy favourite1e . Your health. What can women be doiimy favourite question. So my favourite question. So theres lots lifestyle things theres lots of lifestyle things that they can do. And the reason im so passionate about this is they dont need a prescription. Its things that they can do for themselves. So managing their nutrition really well, making sure theyre getting the right dietary fats. So dietary fats, especially the unsaturated ones, they help us create hormones. Its all about getting our body in this lovely, lovely homeostasis to have a baby. So we want to make really healthy eggs. We want to eat properly. Good lean protein is close to the mediterranean diet as possible and the right supplements as well. So most women will go gung ho and theyll have a week of taking everything and eating lettuce and everything organic. Everything and eating lettuce and everything organic. And and everything organic. And its, you know, massaged by virgins. And its all wonderful. You dont need to do that. You just need to be consistent with the important things. Keep hydrated, eat your vegetables, dont kid yourself on your eating vegetables. Actually eat your vegetables. Yeah, and just your vegetables. Yeah, and just be nice to yourself. And what about contraception . I mean, is that is that damaging . Youre taking damaging . If youre taking contraception . No. So the barrier methods is absolutely not damaging because thats not thats not affecting hormones at all. And for the vast, vast, vast majority of women, contraception is not going to make a difference to their long term fertility. Theres going the odd theres going to be the odd exception. Its really not exception. But its really not something that you need to worry about. Contraception is right when its right. If you dont want to have a baby, dont stress that. So, so many stress about that. So, so many women i work with are women that i work with are riddled with guilt because they were contraception. Or maybe were on contraception. Or maybe they used to smoke and they blame but that must blame themselves, but that must be a strange mind shift for women that you work with where theyve spent their whole lives trying not to get pregnant, being on contraception, and all of a sudden theyre like, oh, i do want a baby now. And then all of a sudden they have switch their body around have to switch their body around and body do that . Can and can your body do that . Can your just switch itself your body just switch itself from not conceiving from obviously not conceiving to being from obviously not conceiving to beiiwell, cant do it well, it cant do it overnight. I feel overnight. I mean, i feel ovulatory a month ovulatory cycle takes a month for most women. If women are thinking having a baby in the thinking of having a baby in the short term, definitely come off contraception 3 to 6 months before you want to actually start. Its a long time trying, but the mind does happen. But the mind shift does happen. That quickly. Like literally so many women i work with have spent whole life terrified spent their whole life terrified of and then spent their whole life terrified of just and then spent their whole life terrified of just wake and then spent their whole life terrified of just wake up and then spent their whole life terrified of just wake up onend then spent their whole life terrified of just wake up one morning they just wake up one morning and they see babies everywhere, and they see babies everywhere, and can think. And thats all they can think. Is nature . Do you think . Is that nature . Do you think . Because mum a similar because my mum said a similar thing, had me later in thing, she had me later on in life, was career life, but she was a career woman. Whilst elizabeth for her was woman. Yeah. And woman. Whilst elizabeth for her was wanted woman. Yeah. And woman. Whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to oman. Yeah. And woman. Whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to putin. Yeah. And woman. Whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to putin. Offah. And woman. Whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to putin. Off as and woman. Whilst elizabeth for her was wanted to putin. Off as late she wanted to put it off as late as could and she said it was as she could and she said it was literally an overnight thing. She wanting she went from not wanting children at all to i need to be a mother. And then you just a mother. Yeah and then you just expect your body to keep up with that. And they dont recognise themselves the stories themselves either. The stories theyre telling not theyre used to telling and not noticing. Kids not noticing. Kids and just not being bothered, and all of a sudden and must sudden theyre just and i must have baby. Need a baby right how. Now. I think it shows just how amazing the body is.

But shania twain legend. The three headliners. But shania tweh legend. The three headliners. But shania twel mean, legend. The three headliners. But shania twel mean, thats legend. The three headliners. But shania twel mean, thats a. Egend. The three headliners. But shania twel mean, thats a great,. The three headliners. But shania twel mean, thats a great, great i mean, thats a great, great for me. T t shania twain. Amazing how with think ive got every with you i think ive got every single albums. Seeing with you i think ive got every single not albums. Seeing with you i think ive got every single not it. ums. Seeing her live not done it. Incredible. Sadly. Probably her live not done it. Incredbecauseily. Probably her live not done it. Incredbecause ir. Probably her live not done it. Incredbecause i will bably her live not done it. Incredbecause i will probably wont because i will probably be giving at the yeah, giving birth at the time. Yeah, theyll be birthing child. Theyll be birthing a child. I think shania twain think for me, shania twain is great. Feeling great. People are feeling a little let because its little bit let down because its the history that the first time in history that two headliners slots have two of the headliners slots have been taken by women, but dua lipa , very much a pop artist lipa, very much a pop artist kind of everywhere at the moment , and scissor isnt very well known over here, is amazing. Shes just won the International Arts of the year at the brit awards. She was the most nominated artist this years nominated artist at this years grammys , so she is incredible. Grammys, so she is incredible. But people shes not but people are like, shes not a household name. Exactly. And then to have coldplay as the kind representatives , kind of male representatives, its their fifth time headlining glastonbury. Like , glastonbury. So people are like, cant we get someone else . Come on. come on. Oh, understand that. Oh, i understand that. Oh, i understand that. And i think when we were told that probably a that they would probably be a focus this year, people focus on women this year, people thought madonna us thought, you know real im saying know, real big. Im not saying no dua lipa. Shes no shade to dua lipa. Shes great, she isnt a legend in great, but she isnt a legend in the music yet, is she . The Music Industry yet, is she . Shes not earned that no, shes not earned that status yet. Mean, doing status yet. I mean, shes doing phenomenally well internationally the internationally around the world. Performances world. Her Live Performances are incredible. I mean, this girl, incredible. I mean, this girl, if you watch her from even just a few years ago to where she is now, shes going bring it, now, shes going to bring it, shes bring it. But shes going to bring it. But i think you look back on think when you look back on previous performances you previous performances and you think of, you know, youve got like sir Paul Mccartney was there roses, there recently, guns and roses, you , huge, incredible you know, huge, incredible performances. I you know, huge, incredible performances. I dont you know, huge, incredible performances. I dont know performances. I dont know whether it lives up to that. Its interesting though, if you think of the 80s or 90s even further back, 7060s, probably because there wasnt as many artists, whoever headlining artists, whoever was headlining Something Like that was not only a household they could not a household name, they could not walk down the street without someone from two years old to 92 years recognising them. You years old recognising them. You know , you think people like know, you think of people like elvis, jackson, madonna, elvis, michael jackson, madonna, you these guys. And you know, all of these guys. And i now theres many i guess now theres so many artists. Yeah that, you know, and also its so accessible now because you dont have to physically go to them a concert. You can see them a lot on television. Theyre television. You know, theyre pumping time. Pumping out music all the time. There many. I pumping out music all the time. There many. I mean, pumping out music all the time. There many. I mean, there there are so many.

I mean, there are have actually been year. There are so many. I mean, there are have actually been cancelled, 20 have actually been cancelled, but previously but the previous previously there so many there have been so many festivals so festivals where theyd play, so it like off it wouldnt be like this one off incredible having incredible occasion and having said that, they when it comes to headlining glastonbury every artist knows its the pinnacle. So im excited for it because i think they will bring it. But personally, for me, shania twain , i mean, that was a good get. Yeah, that would be absolutely incredible. I hope she horse like she comes in on a horse like weve do. Weve seen her do. Would be amazing. Oh, it would be amazing. Oh, it would be amazing.

But ive heard it. Heard it man i love it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did how did it make so how did how did it make you going. Like, i mean you feel going. So like, i mean it though you were it sounds as though you were absolutely there it sounds as though you were abs nerves there it sounds as though you were abs nerves from there it sounds as though you were abs nerves from going there it sounds as though you were abs nerves from going from re it sounds as though you were abs nerves from going from one it sounds as though you were abtheerves from going from one it sounds as though you were abthe mostrom going from one it sounds as though you were abthe most successfulfrom one it sounds as though you were abthe most successful boy| one it sounds as though you were abthe most successful boy bands of the most successful boy bands that has ever seen that this country has ever seen to be honest, it to going solo, to be honest, it wasnt so much nerves. I think wasnt so much nerves. I think if i was looking to do like what i was doing with the boys by myself, then maybe. But i think for more of a soul for this is more of a soul searching journey for me. So its more soul its much more of a soul searching, going my searching, going back to my roots journey. Know, roots journey. And, you know, obviously through , a obviously ive been through, a lot and downs, you know, lot of ups and downs, you know, i in my life from great i mean, in my life from great heights, some great lows, and i think for me, like just being in this space where i speak about things im passionate about, i make music that im passionate about, you know, is, is crucial for me. You know, before, because i wanted to touch on Mental Health as well, which i know youre a huge advocate for. But, for example , you know, i was signed example, you know, i was signed to warner brothers, i think it was 13 years ago. The was about 13 years ago. Was the last released album or last time i released an album or something i cant Something Like that. I cant remember. And it did really well. Wasnt well. And then when i wasnt with i so with warner brothers, i was so scared release because scared to release music because i thought, dont want to i thought, well, i dont want to fail, want fail. And fail, i dont want to fail. And one of the i noticed with one of the things i noticed with what doing actually what youre doing is actually youre no, you cant what youre doing is actually yotite no, you cant what youre doing is actually yotit on no, you cant what youre doing is actually yotit on your no, you cant what youre doing is actually yotit on your own. 10, you cant what youre doing is actually yotit on your own. Absolutely. T do it on your own. Absolutely. Its thing for its a very scary thing for someone whos been with a big its a very scary thing for someone to |os been with a big its a very scary thing for someone to do been with a big its a very scary thing for someone to do that. With a big its a very scary thing for someone to do that. So th a big its a very scary thing for someone to do that. So i a big its a very scary thing for someone to do that. So i think company to do that. So i think thats really commendable because gives hope for because that that gives hope for people. Im not saying anyone wants to hear anything. Just wants to hear anything. I just say just and im say, can i just say, and im sorry interrupt you, but sorry to interrupt you, but peter got some incredible peter has got some incredible music, right .

Yeah, youve been through a lot of stuff that dont a lot of stuff that people dont know a lot of stuff that people dont knoyeah. Mean, the last few yeah. I mean, the last few years for me have been very, very difficult , people, people very difficult, people, people see me on tour performing, making music , but, myself and my making music, but, myself and my wife , you know, we went through, wife, you know, we went through, two miscarriages. Oh, you know, and, you know, for us, that was and, you know, for us, that was a very devastating time and very difficult to know how to kind of process those emotions and i guess as a man, i did the thing of bottling up my emotions and where i feel comfortable to, to be able to express myself is in the studio. Whereas you know, she had obviously a different reaction to you know, what happened to us, because not only was it happening to her mentally , psychologically, but it was happening as happening to her physically as well. And i had seen her, you well. And i had seen her, you know, i had i had i had been by her side and seen her go through hell and back and to and together we went through that and as and i think what something that she really would wanted to see from me was that sensitivity and that emotion. Sensitivity and that emotion. And i thought that as a man, being was trying to being strong was trying to bottle up my emotions and just show you know, show her that, no, you know, that im being strong for her. But actually strong was is but actually being strong was is talking about it. And whats happened since ive started happened ever since ive started to talk about it is ive spoken to talk about it is ive spoken to more men that have experienced baby loss, and together weve been to cry together weve been able to cry together weve been able to cry together , weve been able to together, weve been able to talk about our experiences together. I talk about our experiences together. I mean, when i first kind of my wife forced out of me , you know, how do you feel . And iended , you know, how do you feel . And i ended up as a mess on the floor. I was exasperating crying almost inconsolable. She was just holding me in her arms as we cried together and we cried together, and i didnt realise i needed that release so badly. It just came out in floods of tears and emotions and ever since, like i said, ive been able to speak to other men and, and weve been able to cry together and theyve, they shared their own experiences, which they did similar where they similar to me, where they thought being strong was not talking it, getting talking about it, getting on with getting on with life with work, getting on with life and just trying to, you know, just soldier through. But actually, you know, as men, i feel like that conversation and that sensitivity and being able to be emotions together is everything. Ive never spoken about this before , but the about this before, but the reason why i feel comfortable now is because im with peter. Now is because im with peter. Hes my friend. Hes my friend. Hes my brother. Do you know what mean . And i just what i mean . And i just feel i feel like im in a safe space to be able to talk. Well, you are rac. Well, you are rac.
