Hey fraus-long time no see! I’ve missed loads but that selfie & this sodding hashtag popped up on Twitter so I’ve just been catching up with Jack’s tit. Not performative eh-she’s already mentioned in the evening standard as the creator 🙄
Another way to raise her profile now that Marcus has made her irrelevant. Of course she’ll probably earn off the back of this but of course she’ll donate money made directly off the back of this to charities supporting the NHS won’t she? 😬
This evening standard mention has phone call from Monroe/agent written all over it. - No newspaper would report a hashtag not 12 hours after it’s conception whilst also mentioning the creator unless it was for PR. She’s busy controlling the narrative and attaching herself to this (career defining, world saving, hunger ending, Einstein- esque level of genius proving, Nobel peace prize deserving and knighthood worthy ) hashtag.

If things improve for the NHS six months or a year down the line, she's going to claim credit, isn't she?

PS 8 days into January, where's the vegan pastitsio gone?

Very late catching my dear canal - my parents both have care packages from local authority 🔺 which are outsourced to private provider. Their t&c are awful, zero hours, split shift ,minimum wage etc This #thunderclap will not help them, only boost dear Jackie’s ego 😡😡😡

She has form for hot tip offs. The Metro ran "Jack Monroe sad after cat dies" last year. Still can't interest anyone in for sale signs or leaked nudes though.

My favourite tweet is the one where she is accused of wanting a pay rise and she says Not for me.

What was all that crying at Rishi Sunak bollocks about the day before then?

MPS don’t give a duck about letters from people who don’t vote for them. My Tory MP had a fair few letters and emails from me back in the days of anti austerity. You just get a copy/ paste reply. Similarly hashtags are a bit ‘save 6music! In 2012!’.

write your book Jack and help your poor son with his home learning!

did the daily recipe hashtag thing happen yesterday?
To be honest, MP's don't give a duck about letters whether you vote for them or not. As a lifelong Labour voter, I wrote to my MP about a local issue. I received a reply from her assistant which basically said "I know, it's not good is it?".

My MP in Salford (Rebecca Long Bailey) doesn't have to worry about being re elected, so complacency regarding constituency matters is very high.

The Thunderclap idea is more likely to be counterproductive, as it will irritate the very MP's you are trying to win over. Clogging someones Twitter/email/post will get a similar response to Jack's explanation of her thunderclap hashtag. It will be a standard brush off reply.

Conservatives have a huge majority, and 4 years until next election. Labour, without the support of the SN haven't a cat in hells chance of getting in at the next election. SN will not give their support unless they get an independence referendum, which they will win. Once Scotland gains independence Labour would be in a terrible situation, without a realistic chance of power.

The country is fucked for many years ahead. No stupid hashtag or tweeting will change that.

I'm on one again......where's that soapbox I left lying about?😂

ETA I swore twice in that diatribe, you lot are having an effect on me. 😬

She wanted a hug from Rishi mate. What's so hard to understand about that?

The nurses and drs gave been saying don't clap but give us a pay rise since lockdown one. I know this because my mum who's a nurse said it to me. She is sooooo behind the times it's unreal. The nurses and drs gave real jobs so can tweet hashtags..

They nurses and drs went on strike to get a pay rise the first one ever. Honestly think it will be mostly ignored.

I hope this isn’t what about-ery, but considering she’s apparently WC and has all these fond memories of her socialist dad her campaign would be a bit further reaching?

The NHS is amazing there’s absolutely no denying that and this isn’t detracting from them and the literal trauma inflicted upon them, but there are a LOT of other keyworkers the centrist Twitterati dgaf about (see: when they all complained their cleaners weren’t risking their lives to clean their skiddies in LD1). Food & e-commerce have exploded over this time and millions of people in this country are putting themselves at risk of exposure to keep us fed and with the bits we need? No one should be on below the living wage working at either, but they are, whilst the firms rake in mega takings!

Jack doesn’t care tho she’d have happily got that Hermes driver fired for smashing one plate she had no doubt John Lewis would replace the cretin

Years ago I wrote to my MP at the time Ian Duncan Shitehead and got a stock response that somehow also managed to capture his smarmy insincerity. Quite the feat.

Jackie has been trying to be a 'saviour' for years and hasn't managed it because to genuinely do good requires hard graft and time away from Twitter.

Yes I imagine this collection of words ordered in a line with a hash symbol next to it will garner some attention for now. But it will do precisely shite all.

In the meantime I will be using my vote to try and improve things for NHS staff, rather than correcting people about who FOUNDED a hashtag.

Catching up but the audacity of saying she earns 23k and takes no dividends and then shortly after claims she's now #excludeduk. How much disrespect does she have for her followers to say such contradictory things? Does she ever see a hashtag trending and not try to jump on it💩

You wouldn't have a limited company if you earnt 23k. I'd be surprised if her gross income is not at least 100k in the last 12 months
