Alton Towers and clifftop homes

Jeremy discusses changes to the disability pass scheme at Alton Towers, the female victims of the Epstein scandal, home carers being underpaid and clifftop homes.

Jeremy discusses those with conditions such as autism, ADHD and anxiety being unable to use passes that give them quicker access to rides at theme parks like Alton Towers this February half term because of increased demand for the scheme. We speak to those who say that the Epstein scandal has ignored the female victims at the heart of it. Are carers that go from home to home looking after clients illegally underpaid as their travel time for each job is normally not covered?

And a holiday property is for sale for £5,000 on the Isle of Wight, but it’s on the edge of a cliff that is crumbling into the sea.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: “ask BBC Sounds to play Jeremy Vine".
