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.

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.

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!

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.

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

The recent news has been dominated by the shocking events unfolding in Ukraine where Russia, under Vladimir Putin's orders has invaded Ukraine. A humanitarian crisis is unfolding before our eyes. Large parts of the world are offering huge support for Ukranian's fleeing the war. Bandofla is keen to highlight the plight of ALL refugees and we condemn the double standards we are seeing in terms of refugee support and inconsistencies by organisations like UEFA. On the political front we take a close look at poverty is affecting so many families - and poverty campaigner Jack Monroe uncovers how unfair supermarket pricing is when it comes to the cheaper items that so many families rely on. As ever we welcome all feedback - follow us on Twitter @_Bandofla or email me at podcastbandofla@gmail.com Peace & Love..

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?

Julia is joined by Rich Clothier, managing director of Wyke Farms. Rich is known for his passion for sustainability and recently created a carbon-neutral cheddar for Lidl's own-label range. He has also just launched his own carbon-neutral cheddar brand, Ivy's Reserve. He talks to Julia about consumer appetite for products with carbon and other sustainability claims, the importance of robust accreditation and certification, and creating a sustainable dairy industry that's fit for the future. Plus, he shares his take on the cost-of-living crisis and Jack Monroe's ground-breaking campaign highlighting the impact of soaring food prices on the poorest households.

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?

Hi, long time no episode. This episode with Megan is about Medical Ethics and how they are upheld, public health campaigns and our thoughts on them and finally the treatment of Doctors and Nurses during this pandemic. This episode was recorded early November hence the speculation about the future vaccine and future Covid related Christimas ads haha. In the Episode we mention how poorly Doctors and Nurses have been treated both before and during this pandemic due to the governments lack of investment and caring into their physical and mental wellbeing and into the NHS as a whole. A campaign #ThunderClapForCarers started by Jack Monroe at @BootstrapCook on twitter has started in the wake of England's third Lockdown. Instead of appluading essential workers every Thursday at 8pm you write to your MP demanding PPE, protection, parking and higher pay. If you are struggling what to write @GinamartinUK on twitter is drafting tweets, and emails to send to your MP every Thursday. And @BestForBritain have made a page linked below making contacting your MP even easier. https://hey-mp.uk/?c=clap Thank you for listening, stay safe and well and please please please fight for the safety and wellbeing of the Doctors and Nurses during this pandemic and forever.

Around 300,000 women have epilepsy in the UK. Epilepsy Research UK say that hormones can affect epilepsy, and drugs used to control it need to be very carefully balanced with medication that women take. Dr Susan Duncan is a consultant neurologist. Torie, 30 and Ruth, 60 both have it. Three of our Power List judges Lucy Siegle, Flo Headlam and Prof Alice Larkin answer your questions on how to live a greener life. The opera singer Natalya Romaniw has just been named Young Artist of the Year at the Gramophone Classical Music Awards, she tells us about the challenges of performing live during the pandemic. Last week the first hydrogen train in the UK took its maiden journey. There’s still a lot to do like making room for the batteries underneath the train, and increasing the speed. Helen Simpson and Chandra Morbey are two women behind the project.javascript:void(0) Writer and journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown’s new book, Ladies who Punch, is about fifty daring courageous indomitable women. The women who inspire her are black, white and brown.” Women,” she says, “have issues in common, regardless of race. Differences matter but commonalities matter more and we seem to have lost sight of that.” Joining her to discuss these issues is academic and writer, Ruby Hamad, author of forthcoming book, White Tears, Brown Scars: How White Feminism betrays women of colour. Essex Girls are the butt of countless jokes and preconceptions. Jane hears from the author Sarah Perry who has written in praise of the Essex Girl aimed at “profane and opinionated women everywhere”, and the food writer and political campaigner Jack Monroe who is a proud Essex Girl.

The opera singer Natalya Romaniw joins Jane to talk about the challenges performing live in the Covid-era and her latest role as Mimi in the ENO’s La Bohème at Alexandra Palace in London. As the political party conference season comes to a close Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff and Katy Balls from the Spectator consider what, if any, policies are on the table for women. Men are disproportionately affected by Covid 19 in health terms but it is women who seem to be bearing the brunt of the economic fallout of the pandemic as well as taking on a larger share of domestic work and childcare. Is the virus a step back for women’s rights? And what are the political parties planning to do about it? Apart from walking and cycling, the train is the greenest way of getting around. Trains, especially diesel ones, still emit carbon dioxide though. But, last week the first hydrogen train in the UK took its maiden journey. It’s 100% clean. There’s still a lot to do like making room for the batteries underneath the train, and increasing the speed. Jane talks to Helen Simpson and Chandra Morbey, two women – who do a jobshare – behind project. We explore the issue of Essex Girls – the butt of countless jokes and preconceptions – with the Oxford English Dictionary referring to her as "unintelligent, promiscuous, and materialistic", while Collins adds "devoid of taste" to the mix. The author Sarah Perry has just penned a book in praise of the Essex Girl aimed at “profane and opinionated women everywhere” and she’s joined by the food writer and political campaigner Jack Monroe and a proud fellow Essex Girl.

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!

Patricia Niven is a photographer who specializes in food, the people who grow it, cook it, and eat it -- and the interconnectedness therein. In this episode, we talk about how to find your creative "thing" (following your interests each step of the way), and also pushing yourself to continue reaching for new things (she does a 90-day checkin with herself, introspecting on what she's accomplished and what new pursuits she will start action on in the following 90 days).She arrived in London on a one-way ticket from Australia 21 years ago. In her early years in London, alongside being a photographic assistant, she photographed within the music scene. Highlights included shooting portraits of musicians such as Jill Scott, Amy Winehouse & Cyprus Hill, documenting club nights in Brixton, and traveling to post-genocide Rwanda to document survivors, musicians, politicians & entrepreneurs.She’s won many awards, from places like the Association of Photographers, the Pink Lady Food Photography Awards, and the Sunday Times Food Book of the Year award for her work with the Honey & Co cookbook, which is an all-time favorite. She’s also worked on cookbooks by Jack Monroe, including the photography for 3 of Jack’s book covers (and the photography for one full book) and the #CookforSyria book, which was a global project organised by Clerkenwell Boy.Aside from her work in publishing and with restaurants, she also does portrait work and brand work...which all can, of course, be wrapped up into the topic of food! Her art has been exhibited everywhere from V&A Museum to the National Portrait Gallery.“Do a thing you love and believe in.” - Patricia NivenThere's another special guest in this episode!

Anna and Annie discuss the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction winner The Nickel Boys, and what we think of David Walliams' books after criticism by Jack Monroe. Our book of the week is Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke. This is the first in the Highway 59 series featuring Darren Matthews, a black Texas Ranger. With a gripping plot, vast landscape and racial tensions, this is a must-read. Described as 'mesmerising' (Guardian) and 'a superb thriller' (Times), Locke has won many awards and we can see why. Looking forward to the next in the series, Heaven, My Home. Coming up: Simon the Fiddler by Paulette Jiles. Follow us!

This week Richard Coles and Kate Silverton are joined by Ricky Wilson, the lead singer of Kaiser Chiefs. The band’s hits include I Predict A Riot and Ruby and last year they released their seventh album, Duck. Ricky was a judge on The Voice and now presents the Pop Detectives podcast with Tony Blackburn. Jack Monroe was an unemployed single parent living in poverty when she started a blog called A Girl Called Jack which described cooking nutritious meals for her family on a tiny budget. She is now a well-known cookery writer and campaigner, whose ability to knock up delicious food with limited ingredients has come into its own during the lockdown. Sandra Palmer dreamed of being a fashion designer as a child. Her father Fritz had been a tailor in Jamaica before moving to Birmingham where he worked as a lorry driver. He would sew the dancing costumes Sandra designed as child and after Fritz died in 1999, Sandra decided to keep his legacy alive. Richard Keenan was told that he was adopted when he was nine. After training as both a priest and a police offer, he waited until he was 40 to find his birth parents. Using his police skills to track them down, Richard discovered his birth family and the surprising story of his biological parents’ relationship.

Sophie Walker is a feminist activist, founding leader of the Women’s Equality Party, and recently-appointed chief executive of Young Women’s Trust, the charity representing and supporting women who are living on no or low pay. She is passionate about rebuilding society for and with (extra)ordinary women. You can follow her on Twitter under @sophierunning.Today I'm chatting to Sophie about her new book 'Five Rules for Rebellion' which is an inspiring, five-step journey to incorporating activism into our lives. Featuring stories of new and seasoned activists – including Amika George and Jack Monroe – campaigning on a range of issues from reproductive rights and poverty to the environment and access to education; the book shows us how to see activism not as a series of pitched battles but as a positive, lifelong learning experience. It's all about feeling less full of despair, and more able to channel anger, arm yourself with hope, practise perseverance and connect with others compassionately. She teaches us how we can convert our confusion and impatience into a powerful force for change. Hope you enjoy this episode :) If you did please do leave a review!

I bet books are saving your bacon right now, well how about tuning in to hear how you can support La Biblioteka - Sheffield's much-loved independent, award-winning bookshop. We're talking to the owner Alex Maxwell (with a few helpful contributions from his very small son Elio), all about the impact of C19 on his day-to-day life as a bookseller & his hot tips for Quarantine Reads. Follow him on Twitter @LaBiblioteka A note from Alex: For some escapism during these insular items there's something comforting in looking at the past. Two of the best recent releases are firmly in the historical fiction camp: The Mirror and The Light, Hilary Mantel's spectacular final book in the Wolf Hall trilogy chronicles the (fictional) lives around Cromwell's rise s sure to clean up most book awards this year, and has the benefit of lasting through another week or two of lockdown at nearly 900 pages. If you've already finished it, Hamnet, by Maggie O'Farrell is inspired by the son of a famous Stratford playwright, and is as immersive as it is intimate. Now is a perfect time to tackle those chunky classics you've always passed over because you ‘don't have the time'! Whether that's Middlemarch or Anna Karenina, or, if not too close to the bone, perhaps revisiting One Hundred Years of Solitude or Camus' The Plague could act as a bit of catharsis. This is a perfect time to lean in to domesticity, and either Tin Can Magic or Jack Monroe's Tin Can Cook make excellent arguments for digging amongst what's left at the supermarket shelves or at the back of your cupboard to fashion some tasty meals. Do Preserve by Anja Dunk goes from basic principles of pickles, jams & cordials to stunning recipes from Green Tomato Chutney to Strawberry Gin Fizz, so that we'll never be caught short again, no matter what disaster befalls us next. That is unless you have small children, in which case, by now you will be needing fresh activity ideas. The Nature of Play is full of seasonal activities, that for now, will help them rediscover the garden, and This Book Thinks Your An Inventor (and the rest of the series) should ignite their curiosity and imagination. For the younger siblings, DOT magazine is packed with playful activities, learning games & engaging stories Books can be ordered via labiblioteka.co or via our social media channels @LaBiblioteka

Today on the damn TickyOff cook and author Jack Monroe is back. Jack reveals all about their hashtag #jackmonroeslockdownlarder and what's been going on at Tin Can Cook HQ since the coronavirus lockdown began. It seems to involve twenty one hour work days, an undercut rapidly growing out of control and the wearing of many hats. Jack also discusses maintaining their sobriety during this crisis, why stewed steak is a great product and wondering why the Daily Mail is now being nice. Before Jack arrives via the digital ether, James and Sam go deep on their initial experiences of lockdown with their respective families, homeschooling victories and failures, the Diego Maradona documentary and what James found when he cleared out under the stairs. There's also time for Sam's hair to reach ridiculous proportions, James quotes a great joke by a disgraced comedian and they all wonder just how people are managing to keep up affairs while confined to their houses. It's TickyOff, and whatever happens, it'll survive. Today's episode is sponsored by wine pedlars for the end of days dropwine.co.uk

Baked beans, tinned pies, corned beef, creamed tomato soup, plum tomatoes, ackee, pineapple chunks and condensed milk. Our store cupboards are bursting with tins of food, they provide comfort, cheap family meals, quick lunches and easy dinners. Maybe even a sure stock of ingredients as Brexit edges closer. Yet over the years, the UK market is dwindling. Stats show young people are less interested in tinned fruit and fish. And then there's the image problem. Tinned food has a reputation in the UK it's struggling to shake off. Cheap, unhealthy. Fine for those making do with tiny budgets, not if you can afford the fresh equivalents. As Madrid born Patrick Martinez found out first hand when he set up a bespoke tinned fish company in Liverpool, we have a funny relationship with tinned food in the UK. A relationship quite unlike our continental neighbours. We deeply love these foods, but we might not admit our affection openly. In this programme Sheila Dillon speaks to food writer Jack Monroe about the politics of tinned food and why she thinks we ought to cook and love the tinned foods lurking in our cupboards. Presented by Sheila Dillon. Produced in Bristol by Clare Salisbury.

Tom Heap sets off on a guilt trip road trip to find out why people like him won't give up the things they know are destroying the planet. Tom loves his powerful car. Despite a pretty thorough knowledge of the science of climate change and the contribution that his petrol-powered Subaru makes to a warming world he doesn't want to give it up. He's not alone. Most of us have dirty pleasures we have no intention of foregoing, whether that's eating meat, buying fast fashion or flying to our favourite holiday destinations. So what will make Tom and people like him change their behaviour for the sake of the planet? Tom hits the road to find out, dropping in on people who have influenced his thinking on the environment. There's food writer and cook, Jack Monroe who has helped make veganism a pleasure rather than a pain. There's John Browne, the oil company CEO who tried to push BP, Beyond Petroleum, Christiana Figueres, the diplomat who persuaded Presidents and PMs to sign up to carbon reductions. And there's the Bishop of Salford who thinks we should heed the Gospels and accept that personal sacrifice is essential to save the world. Producer: Alasdair Cross
Poverty in the UK is increasing for the first time in two decades. We are seeing more people struggling to make ends meet. Does television set out accurately the complexities of living in poverty, or too crudely as either a deserving economic victim or undeserving ‘scrounger’? How can we tell more accurate stories of poverty to skeptical audiences, for a fuller debate and actions? A panel from Sheffield Doc/Fest 2018 debate these questions and more. Chaired by Poppy Noor (The Guardian) with the writer Jack Monroe, the filmmakers Mark Raphael and Daisy-May Hudson and Chief Executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Campbell Robb.

Jack Monroe was born in Southend on Sea, Essex, in 1988. She attended Westcliff High School For Girls in Essex, gaining 4 and a half A*-C GCSEs. She left at the age of 16 and worked full time in ‘odd jobs’, retail and coffee shops and waitressing, before joining Essex County Fire and Rescue Service in 2007 to work in their control room. She left in November 2011, unable to work the night shifts as a single parent to a then 20 month old son. Jack started writing her blog, A Girl Called Jack, in February 2012, in response to a local councillor who claimed that ‘druggies, drunks and single mums are ruining the High Street.’ What started as a local politics blog developed into budget food and recipes, which were picked up with interest by the national press as she detailed living with her son on a food budget of just £10 a week. Her first cookbook, A Girl Called Jack, was published by Michael Joseph at Penguin in February 2014, and went straight to the top of the paperback charts. Jack writes a weekly recipe column for The Guardian. 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations. There are only two rules - no scripts and only 15 minutes each.

Jack Monroe made a name for herself as a food blogger who writes recipes for people on a tight budget. Today she Cooks The Perfect...Chickpea, Carrot & Coriander Falafels
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.
