James Frith - ex Labour MP, business owner and dad of 4

Lockdown Dads

In Episode 4, James and Ian are joined by former Labour MP, business owner and dad of 4, James Frith.
We talk about the competing needs of 4 kids of different ages and the struggle to find 1 on 1 time with children and your partner - in fact we go as far as to wistfully remember "Date Night."
Join us as we dig deeper into the debate on reopening schools: Covid safety v equality issues. James Frith brings his perspective as a Dad and as a former member of the Education Select Committee.
We discuss the need to "build back better" and the hopes for structural change in society rather than just scrabbling around in an emergency.
Plus...
James channels his inner Norman Tebbitt (!) as we discuss the national shortage of bikes, Henry Frith (8) makes a guest appearance - we discover the like father, like son tales of DIY haircuts and James talks about 12 years in his band Finka and how he once played at Glastonbury.

About Lockdown Dads
James and Ian are recording a weekly ‘show’ exploring the impact of lockdown, self isolation and social distancing on working dads. We’ll share tips, thoughts and stories with special guests, discuss our hopes for the future and the opportunities that all this represents, especially for dads who want to be more active and involved fathers but who until now have struggled with the expectations of what it means to be a man in the workplace.
We hope you enjoy watching and listening!
