    The Joy Of Becoming A Dad Back in November 2014 my wife and I were overjoyed with the arrival of our daughter Beatrice.

But when I wanted to return to the workplace, I found being tied to the school run was prohibitive, as was ...

    Would Improving Men’s Rights Help Close The Gender Pay Gap? I don’t really think of myself as much of a feminist. I don’t get offended if a man holds a door open for me or calls me “love” (to be fair living in Yorkshire, it’s a pre-requisite and even men get called love, so score one for equality!).
