That's right, it's Jack Monroe! This dude's story is strange, confusing, and fairly depressing, so strap in for some fun!

Living on the edge - health inequalities and rising costs with Prof Sir Michael Marmot and Jack Monroe Join hosts Doctor Xand van Tulleken and Dr Rochelle Burgess for Season 3, Episode 1 of Public Health Disrupted: Living on the edge - health inequalities and rising costs with Prof Sir Michael Marmot and Jack Monroe How does the cost-of-living crisis affect the health of the public? What impact does financial stress have on our physical and mental wellbeing? This episode aims to reshape the narrative and create a clearer understanding of the growing economic and health problems affecting millions of people living in the UK. Professor Sir Michael Marmot (Director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity) and Jack Monroe (award-winning food writer, TV presenter, and campaigner) explain why there are health inequalities in our society and how the cost-of-living crisis disproportionally affects people on lower incomes. They outline the challenges faced by those living in poverty and what changes are required to safeguard our future against this mounting humanitarian crisis.

Did you know there are now more food banks in the UK than there are branches of McDonald's?Shocking we know, but foodbanks are now vital and sadly accepted part of society; and for the survival of an ever-increasing number of people up and down the UK who are struggling through the cost-of-living crisis.On this episode of Tea with the Changemakers we're talking to an anti-povertycampaigner and food writer Jack Monroe who's had more than their (un)fair share of controversy and trolling over the years.Jack Monroe at their core is a mother who found themselves in a tight situation with the cost of living, finding it difficult to feed their son. Jack started writing a blog about cheap and easy recipes back in 2010 (yes, the cost-of-living crisis was still a thing back in 2010…). Little did they know that their blog would resonate with a huge number of people and eventually led them to become a published author and a hugely influential figure in society.There are few figures like Jack Monroe in society, who have the sheer grit and determination to speak out on poverty and ignite genuine social change, and on this week's episode of Tea with the Changemakers we think you'll see a different more tender and relaxed version of Jack.Throughout their career they've been subject to scrutiny and their authenticity has been bought into question. There is no denying that Jack's often-brash approach has rubbed some people up the wrong way – but isn't that the point? Jack is authentic and saying it as it is, and has made it their mission to keep the conversation going around poverty and strives to genuinely help those who are struggling.  Check out our blog on this episode, McPoverty and a side of lies.Cup only half full?

Liz Truss, the favourite to become the new PM, said that Nicola Sturgeon was an attention seeker who should be ignored. This went down a storm at the Tory hustings but was it a major tactical error?Has she, despite what Murdo Fraser claimed, misjudged the mood of even non indy supporting Scots?Truss still is the front runner in the leadership contest, but it looks like Sunak is gaining support in the big southern English branches.

A double helping this week! We recorded a very special episode of Table Manners with two amazing women; campaigner and author Jack Monroe & Nureen Glaves, the founder and CEO of National Lottery-supported Feed Me Good.In this Good Causes special, made possible by National Lottery Players, we didn't need to cook! Jack bought her delicious ‘chicken porridge' and Nureen bought her famous rum cake. We ate and chatted all about affordable eating, food sustainability, making the most of the tins in your cupboard and different ways of making Mac and cheese! Nureen told us all about what she will be making for her upcoming Big Jubilee Lunch, as communities all over the UK come together to celebrate the Jubilee weekend. This one is a super foodie episode, so hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it. Thank you to The National Lottery for setting us up! Enjoy!

Jack Monroe rose to fame with her blog 'A Girl Called Jack', sharing her struggles as a single mum on benefits, with just £10 a week to spend on food. She's become a best-selling, award-winning writer of cookery books and she campaigns against poverty. A regular on TV and social media, talking benefits and food banks, Jack Monroe has attracted the wrath of some right-wing commentators. She successfully sued former newspaper columnist, Katie Hopkins, for comments made online. Now, she's threatening legal action against a Conservative MP who's accused her of profiteering from the poor. Mark Coles finds out what inspires Monroe's love of cooking, how growing up with foster children influenced her outlook and why she's determined to speak out for the poorest in society.

Jack Monroe, the food writer and poverty campaigner sits down in her living room in Southend-on-Sea to share her 'Life Through Food' with Leyla Kazim. It has been almost a decade since Jack first made a name for herself as a blogger and food writer - documenting life as an unemployed single mum. Her blog, A Girl Called Jack (now Cooking on a Bootstrap) first focussed on local politics, but became popular when she started sharing her costed out low budget recipes. Since then, she has written six cookery books, has written 10,000 tweets, and become a voice for those living in poverty in the UK. Jack's most recent campaign against the way inflation data is recorded and presented, resulted in the Office for National Statistics saying it would do more to represent the experiences of people living on different incomes in the UK. It also led the supermarket chain Asda to bring back and expand it's budget range of products. Jack is currently working on creating her own 'Vimes Boots' index to document the way food prices have changed over the past decade for people living on lowest incomes. In this programme, Leyla finds out what motivates Jack to keep speaking out about inequalities, and how she deals with social media backlashes. She talks about her early food heroes, the pleasure she gets from cooking, and why she believes there needs to be more equality and inclusivity in the food world. Presented by Leyla Kazim Produced in Bristol by Natalie Donovan

Long lost, wealthy relatives who've sadly died but for whom you “might” be the next of kin – too good to be true or the real thing? We explain how to spot the difference and how to tell the good heir hunters from the bad. A disabled mother of two is being denied Healthy Start vouchers for her young children because she is on the wrong benefit. The vouchers provide more than a thousand pounds over four years to help low-income mothers buy milk and food for their growing children. But disabled people on a benefit called Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) only get the vouchers while they are pregnant. The latest Crime Survey for England and Wales shows a massive rise in the amount of fraud being carried out against victims – up by more than a third to 5.1m cases between October 2020 and September 2021. Inflation is already at levels not seen for a generation and this week food poverty campaigner Jack Monroe highlighted how she believes the real figure can be even worse for people on low incomes. So how was inflation first calculated, what are the different ways it's been measured in the past, how do they compare to the here and now and should it be changed for the future?

Food writer Jack Monroe sparked national debate this week when she tweeted about food price hikes on the cheapest goods in supermarkets - but does inflation really hit low income households hardest? Social media and some news outlets have spread claims this week that only around 17,000 people have actually died of Covid. We debunk. We test the truth of the five second rule - is it a good idea to eat watermelon within five seconds of dropping it on the floor? And can you think yourself better?

The pressures of being a working single mum left Jack Monroe in hospital, suffering from a breakdown. But her ability to feed her son on a shoestring budget also saw her shoot to prominence as a food writer. She tells Claire Newell why she wishes she'd asked for help sooner when times were tough, and why she believes that upping benefit payments for low-income families would see the government save money in the long-term.If you need non-urgent information about mental health support, call Mind on 0300 123 3393 or email info@mind.org.uk |How have you found returning to work after having a child?

In this week's episode, Stephen and Richard looking into a libel case as Jack Monroe takes on Katie Hopkins for defamation on Twitter. Should we all now be held accountable for what we put out on social media?

My guest this week is English media lawyer, Mark Lewis. Mark made a name for himself working on some of the UK's most high profile libel and media cases over the last decade or two. Mark represented the family of murdered schoolgirl Millie Dowler after it was reported that News of the World Journalists had accessed her voicemail after she was reported missing giving her family false hope that she was still alive. Widely known as the Phone Hacking Scandal, the resulting outcry alongside Mark's work contributed to the closure of the newspaper and led to a range of investigations into the ethics of British media. Mark also represented food-writer and activist Jack Monroe against far-right social media commentator Katie Hopkins which led to an unprecedented ruling of libel in the modern age of social media. Most recently Mark has turned his expertise to fight Jew-hatred in as many ways as his resources allow, including against the Labour Party in the UK. -- If you'd like to support Sod's Law you can become a Sod's Law patron at patreon.com/sodspod from as little as £1 /$1 a month - there are different tiers including ad-free episodes, giveaways and more!

Sheila Dillon meets the cooks specialising in great food on small budgets, part of a world of food blogging influenced by life of benefits, periods of homelessness and shopping budgets that can be as little as ten pounds a week.One of the highest profile blogs is "A Girl called Jack", written by Jack Monroe, a single mum who lives in Southend-On-Sea. Out of work, having complications with benefits and reduced to feeding her small boy Weetabix mashed with water, she went online to share her experience and started writing about food. What followed was a record of some of the most savvy shopping tips to be found anywhere, from dishes that can be cooked for 27p a portion, through to a forensic guide to every supermarket shelf, freezer cabinet and fresh produce aisle. In a recent report by Oxfam, the numbers of people now using food banks has reached 500,000, linked, charities say, to recent reforms of the benefits system. The government disputes this link, but food insecurity is increasingly found in every region of the UK.Others who have taken to writing about their efforts to cook and eat well on low budgets include Belfast born, now London based, Miss South who along with her brother, who lives in Manchester, Mr North, share recipes and pictures of the food they enjoy. Miss South recently came out as being "properly poor" in a blog posted last November and her writing has inspired others who need to cook on food budgets hovering between £15 and £20 a week.The third blogger in the programme is Tony, aka Skint Foodie. Once a high flying, restaurant going professional, his writing documents a determination to eat well despite losing everything to alcoholism.Producer: Dan Saladino.
