Nathan Lee Davies had spent years carefully managing his Direct Payments to save up for a six-day short break to Florida. But when Nathan, who has a life-limiting condition, excitedly told Wrexham Borough County Council about his plans it decided to “claw back” the money. Human rights lawyer Anne-Marie Irwin helps explain the rules around funding short breaks. It’s an essential item, but underwear isn’t always accessible. Primark is trying to change that with its new range of adaptive bras and knickers – but do they live up to the hype? Fashionistas Victoria Jenkin, founder of adaptive clothing brand Unhidden, and Jem Hubbard who goes by the name WheelsNoHeels join Emma Tracey in the studio to see how they shape up. Produced by Beth Rose with Emma Tracey and Niamh Hughes. The editor is Damon Rose, senior news editor is Sam Bonham. Recorded and mixed by Dave O’Neill.
