Disabled people who live in high-rise flats reveal to Access All their fear of not being able to escape from a fire after the government turns down mandatory evacuation plans that were recommended by the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

Joe Kimber says "the fear of being cremated alive is horrendous" while Sarah Rennie, who runs campaign group Claddag, says "a lot of disabled people across the country are very frightened".

They talk about their personal experiences and how they plan to fight the decision.

Blind TikTok star Lucy Edwards joins Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey to talk about her latest fashion campaign, how her two million followers accidentally got her in the dance music chart, and her hopes for future motherhood.

Produced by Beth Rose and Keiligh Baker
Recorded and mixed by Dave O'Neill
The editors were Damon Rose and Jonathan Aspinwall.
