A number of maternity and postnatal services have been withdrawn due to Covid. What support is there for new mothers in lockdown?
TROOPERS is a new series of ours starting today. It's about the women in our communities who get things done, and many of them are volunteers. We begin with Margaret Johnson who works as a volunteer at Chester Storyhouse which is a cinema, theatre and library. She runs the Chatter and Natter group
We've got more on the Dominic Cummings situation and his trip to Durham. Katy Balls from the Spectator and Helen Lewis from the Atlantic discuss things said in last night's press conference which might have leapt out for women especially. Following on from yesterday's programme about during lockdown, today we talk about what postnatal support is there for you. We hear from Linzy Thurlaway who's a midwife, antenatal educator and who also runs postnatal and baby massage courses. She has a Facebook group called Antenatal and Postnatal Education Group North East.
The Sunday Times Rich List 2020 includes a record number of women, but it's still only 150 out of 1000 people. The number from BAME backgrounds is even lower. We speak to Annabelle Williams who's the author of Why Women Are Poorer Than Men and What We Can Do About It.
