Today we were looking forward to congratulating Gina Martin on a victory for women. A victim of upskirting, Gina had taken her campaign to put a stop to it to parliament. On Friday, it was announced it had government support and would become part of a bill to make upskirting a criminal offence. But when the bill was read out, Tory MP Sir Christopher Chope shouted ‘object’. That’s all it took to stop the campaign in its tracks. Sir Christopher's objection was met with cries of ‘shame’ and has caused national outrage, with even the PM getting involved.

Today, Gina is back to explain why he did it, and to reveal what happens next for the campaign.

Back in the day, taking part in your school sports day egg and spoon race or jumping around in a sack was seen as fun, with just a touch of competitiveness, but today the races seem to mean so much more! This week, parents at one school in Cardiff have been using video evidence to dispute the final result of their children taking part, plus - last year, a survey revealed more than half of primary schools were to hold non-competitive sports days where everyone was seen as a winner.

So has it all gone too far, and is it important for children to learn how to fail?

Former Olympic hurdler and mum of three Sally Gunnell says yes - being competitive teaches children the realities of life, and losing makes them more determined to win.

However parenting blogger Harriet Shearsmith says sports day should be optional - her children go to a non-competitive school where everyone is given a certificate for competing and seen as a winner.
