In this episode, Darren and Mark are joined by Ben Obese-Jecty, the newly elected Member of Parliament for Huntingdonshire. Ben shares his inspiring journey from the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan to the corridors of Westminster. With honest reflections on military life, public service, and what drives him to make a difference, Ben opens up about the challenges of becoming an MP, the fight against youth knife crime, and the need for better support for male victims of interpersonal abuse.
This conversation also delves deeper into men’s health, with Ben, Darren, and Mark discussing the growing burden of obesity on the NHS, the decline in physical activity among men, and why personal responsibility is more important than ever.
