House of Commons: International Men’s Day debate

Now that our YouTube channel is up and running again, we can provide a link to the House of Commons International Men’s Day debate (video, 1:26:29) which I attended two days ago. Most of the MPs in the chamber (including Penny Mordaunt) hot-footed it out of the chamber when they heard the title of the ensuing debate. For most of the debate I was the only person in the Visitors’ Gallery, it must have a capacity for 300+ people.

The debate was depressingly insubstantial. The only issue covered at length (of the 20 issues in our manifesto) was suicide, admittedly a very important issue. Most of the MPs victim-blamed suicidal men for not seeking help, rather than trying to understand the reasons that drive men to become suicidal in the first place, and the state’s contributions to those reasons.
