Sanitary products are one of those things I ALWAYS put in my 'Food Bank Container' I have in the trolley when I go shopping.I seem to remember her mentioning feeling hormonal etc, implying PMT. Kinda awful when you think of the period poverty in the UK that she pretends not to spend money on products
I can remember how expensive they were back when I was having a hard time. I smashed open a dispenser in a public toilet. Police were involved. It was grim.

Oh my I think that Jackolyte has rather let her mask slip. FWIW I have had wages throughout lockdown because I've continued to work. I do despise the benefits system because it's inhumane and counterproductive. None of that relates to why I think Jack is a frightful slopgibbon.
As an IBS sufferer I love this! I can't elevenerife the Empire State Building but I can claim a European castle. Your's shittily a nosey gabshite FFS WTF LOL #notafanofslopI have IBS and have friends that do and our most used coping mechanism is humour. We have a tit bingo which is where is the most famous landmark you've had to poo. Current winner is the Empire State building
She must have been really bleeping livid about the 1-90 bingo numbers you guys came up with to pull this shite tonight mustn’t she 
She keeps her tampons in an ornamental pineapple on a bookshelf.
When she was due to be on Newsnight with her bookshelves behind her (but her appearance was cancelled):
Poached in its own defrosted juices 
“Poached in its own defrosted juices.”
What a way to persuade anyone to be a pescatarian.
ETA quicker than me @TriviaNewtonJohn

God, how bleeping depressing.
Those colour coded bookshelves look pretty but they would really upset a library assistant .... Library of Congress? Library of Shiteness!!!!
(Apologies, I'll admit that was a desperately poor shoehorn)

That has honestly made me feel nauseous
Why on EARTH would you keep your tampons on top of the bookshelf?
Green lentils aren’t the prettiest food to be fair but that is a plate of grim. I personally hope that Louisa had a very large wine to wash that slop down with.
I think that might be the saddest sentence I ever read. "Here love, eat this before it gets cold, I poached it in it's own freezer juices"Poached in its own defrosted juices
That's a long walk with your trousers round your knees muttering, 'Christ! Is it that time already? duck, these are a good pair of knickers!'
Are the “trolls” JM refers to exclusively people on here? Because it’s overwhelmingly adoring fans who seem to engage with her on Twitter, from what I’ve seen. If so, that’s very bizarre. And it’s also infuriating to have people’s criticisms on here about JM’s twisty stories and shameless, literal begging warped into “the haters don’t think a poor person should have the luxury of the calculator! Here’s a picture of my TV for some reason. Guess I’m not poor in their right wing hate-filled eyes...” [never mind that it was literally a luxury calculator, in a picture she deliberately posted]
Cause, that’s really not the attitude on here, right? I applaud JM’s social progressive positions (as far as they aren’t performative). I don’t care about receipts. I don’t care if she quit a job or not. I don’t care if she uses the fanciest soap (but I do care if she lies about it). It’s more, if you’re gonna live your life on display, don’t exaggerate. If someone catches you exaggerating, explain and move on. If you want to talk about poverty, talk about the times you were living in poverty. Don’t imply you can’t afford butter now. Don’t keep out the tip jar on your ad-covered blog. If you’re gonna complain about any backlash, don’t sling mud at other people.
I’ve seen a lot of well-wishers on here, too. I guess that doesn’t fit the nasty troll story, tho. This feels wild, but hey JM, if you’re reading, I’m still kind of a fan and hope you grow out of an everything-on-display phase. I credit you with helping me get a better grip on my pantry and how to stretch out a budget. And I haven’t given you a nickel. Maybe I’m the grifter, here.

Oh my Christ. I had a piece of cod fried in butter with loads of salt and pepper with mushy peas tonight....and it was delicious.
Why does she have to duck up every food in the name of being maverick? That looks like a piece of undisclosed white fish on top of diarrhoea.
