Summary

Maytree is a respite centre for people who are feeling suicidal, and this week our Jen chats to its director, Natalie Howarth, about the impact of lockdown on our mental health and how to help someone you’re worried might be suffering. Mick catches up with consumer rights queen Vix Leyton about what’s what in the time of coronavirus, how Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act remains the consumer’s friend and the places online that can help you chase claims.

Sport is (sort of) BACK in Jenny off the Blocks, there are some strange hues of leather and shaky cameras galore as Dunleavy Does Disaster takes on Earthquake, and some absolute bastard donkeys in the Bush Telegraph. The bastards.
