More than 100 influential disabled people have signed an open letter to Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, calling £5bn worth of benefit cuts, “cruel”.Screenwriter, Jack Thorne, behind hits including Adolescence and Toxic Town talks exclusively to Access All about why he signed the letter which dubs the planned reforms “cruelty by policy”. The Department for Work and Pensions says its “determined to support people in all parts of the county”.

On both sides of the Atlantic disabled people are protesting, despite the sometimes tricky logistics.In the UK, a mass lobby event was held on 21 May at Westminster to enable disabled people to 'green card' their MP. That means the MP is informed their constituent is waiting for them in Parliament and they should go and meet them. The hot topic for this event was the £5bn welfare cuts announced in the Spring Statement. But how successful was it? Access All's Alex Collins goes to meet those who have travelled from across the country to be there and Emma Tracey chats with Svetlana Kotova from disabled peoples organisation, Inclusion London. Across the Atlantic, American activists have also been out in force. Last week 26 disabled people were arrested in Congress when they disrupted a debate around Medicaid and who gets government-funded health and social care. Domonique Howell, from US disability advocacy organisation Adapt, was one of those to be arrested and talks about her experience, while veteran protester, Julie Farrar, talks about the importance of direct action.Plus Ellie Simmonds: Should I Have Children? That's the thought-provoking title of the Paralympian come TV presenter's new documentary, which explores the decisions parents make when told their unborn child could be disabled. She chats about how it shaped her feelings around having children as a woman with an impairment that could be passed on, and what she learned by spending time with couples at a specialist foetal medicine unit.Presented by Emma Tracey Producer and reporter: Alex Collins Sound by Dave O'Neill Editors: Damon Rose and Beth Rose

When I was 19, I thought the goal was simple—make a lot of money, fast. I wanted freedom, autonomy, and proof that I could do it on my own. What I didn't realize then was that chasing money for the sake of it will leave you just as broke as being without it.In this episode, I sit down with Ryan and Cory for a deep, honest, and often hilarious conversation about what really matters in business and life. We unpack my early days: dropping out of college, getting my real estate license, failing miserably as an agent, and eventually stumbling into wholesaling. I walk through the deal that changed everything—a $105k check at 19—and how that moment shifted my mindset from "make a quick buck" to "build something sustainable."We dive into why financial freedom isn't a dollar amount—it's a lifestyle shift. I share how $20-30K/month with complete control over your time might make you feel wealthier than a 7-figure salary working for someone else. We talk about the ego traps of big business, why more employees and revenue doesn't always mean more happiness, and how I found peace in running lean and living intentionally.The guys and I also talk about identity—why so many entrepreneurs wrap theirs around their business or bank account—and how dangerous that can be. I share the story of how I got into the right rooms early, paid $15K I barely had to go to a mastermind in Maui, and ended up building lifelong relationships with people who changed the trajectory of my career.Whether you're just getting started or deep into the game, this conversation is about more than money. It's about freedom, self-awareness, and doing the work that actually matters—to you. No fluff, no flexing—just a real conversation with people who've been through it.

We get it. Early on, we did the same thing. It feels like progress… but for most investors, it's just mental masturbation.So in this episode, we're getting brutally honest about:Why buying more education won't fix your businessHow to actually identify and solve your real constraint (hint: it's usually leads or sales)What we've seen happen when people chase strategies before they've even mastered the basicsHow Cole approached his first flip without blowing up the businessTucker's step-by-step framework for transitioning from wholesaling to flipping — the smart wayWhy most real estate partnerships don't work, and what makes the rare ones actually lastAnd the hardest truth of all: you need more patience than you thinkWe're sharing personal stories — the good, the bad, and the ugly — from early flips, failed partnerships, and those moments where we thought the next course would finally be “it.” Spoiler: it wasn't.If you're stuck in the cycle of constant learning and zero implementation, or you're trying to figure out what path makes the most sense for you, we hope this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to take real action.We're not gurus. We're just guys who've been through the grind — and we're here to tell you the truth.Because at the end of the day… 

Suspended Labour MP, John McDonnell, talks to Access All about the distress he feels over the benefit cuts outlined in March's Spring Statement. Having had the whip removed last summer he hopes to be restored to the party he joined 50 years ago but says he is "praying" his former colleagues rethink the plans and U-turn. The benefit cuts mean there have been a lot of numbers flying about.

BBC research has revealed that nearly a third of child claimants of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) have been rejected for adult benefits when they turn 16. BBC Data Unit reporter Joanna Morris has been investigating to find out why this is happening, and shares that many rejections come because the forms are addressed to the teenagers who try to complete the paperwork themselves. That includes Holly Crouch. Holly, who has epilepsy, tells Access All she was turned down for Personal Independence Payment at 16 because she had written on her form that she could cook - even though the risk of seizures meant she could never use the cooker without supervision. Also on the programme - Jonny Heaver, fresh from being fired as a contestant on The Apprentice, gives an exit interview and talks about living with a facial difference.

Want to get in touch? Send Claire a message!Welcome to Episode 104 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, which is a special bonus episode on how to practice self-care during the holidays! The holiday season can be a time of joy, caring, and giving. But let's be real: it's also easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle, leaving little time or energy to care for yourself. This year, let's do things differently. In today's episode, I'm sharing my top five tips to help you take care of YOU. Plus, I'm thrilled to announce my first-ever Black Friday sale running Tuesday, November 19th through Friday, November 22nd! Access ALL the great deals, including FREE 1:1 coaching, on my website. Here's a quick summary of my five tips:First, eat consistently and adequately. Nourish your body every 3-4 hours to keep your energy levels high and to feel less out-of-control around food later in the day. Don't skip meals or “save” calories on holidays. If you're traveling, plan ahead and pack snacks to avoid prolonged periods of time without food.Second, focus on your priorities and goals. Identify what helps you feel your best - whether it's regular exercise, adequate sleep, or enjoying hobbies - and make time for at least some of those things, even when life gets hectic. Figure out ways to be flexible, rather than fall prey to all-or-nothing thinking. Third, set boundaries to protect your time and mental health. For instance, learn how to handle encounters with diet or body talk, and set appropriate boundaries with loved ones so that you're able to carve out time for yourself.Fourth, learn to say no when needed. It's okay to decline commitments to protect your time and energy. Decide what's essential, share responsibilities, and avoid overcommitting. You may even need to say no to yourself sometimes (e.g. resting instead of doing your planned workout).And lastly, try a positive moments journal. Take just two minutes before bed to jot down moments of gratitude or things that made you feel something positive that day. This small habit has been SO helpful for my mental health.Wishing you a wonderful, safe, and delicious Thanksgiving holiday with loved ones!  Stay tuned for my next full episode on December 5th.Links:Grab all my Black Friday deals until Nov 22ndWatch this episode on my YouTube page Check out my free nutrition downloadsSign up for my email list to download my FREE fueling before exercise guideJoin my Patreon community to support the pod while getting awesome merch, special discounts on my digital products, and other perksGet in touch at claire@eatforendurance.comMusic Credit: Joseph McDadeDisclaimer – all information provided is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is in no way meant to replace individual medical and nutrition recommendationsSupport the showThanks for listening!

Pop Idol star Gareth Gates and former Labour politician-turned-TV star, Ed Balls drop by the Access All studio to chat to Emma Tracey about living with a stammer. More than 20 years after he shot to fame on Pop Idol in 2002 Gareth talks about the new musical he is penning which is all about stammering. He has an overt or exteriorised stammer which causes him to get stuck at the start of a word and repeat the initial letter. Former politician, Ed, didn't realise he had a stammer until he was already serving in Gordon Brown's government. He has a covert stammer and describes it as a “block” which means the right words don't always come. He reveals the impact it had on political life when his rivals used it to rock the public's confidence in him and the moment he knew he had to go public.
