I'm super behind as ever. But here are my unasked for thoughts.

Of course those food parcels are abysmal, insulting, a joke. It makes you rage. That's not £30 worth of food.

I have never seen threats made to her on twitter. Not to say it doesn't happen but I read most of her tweets and a lot of the replies and I've never seen them. If someone had a grudge against her why would they then target people who had tweeted @ her? I don't think she is protecting anyone.

The poor deserve a less chaotic champion than her.

I'm sure her heart is in the right place some of the time. I'm sure she did have a shit time (though how much of it was because she didn't tell her family how much she was struggling I don't know) when she was on benfits/a food bank recipient. But she doesn't follow through. We know she has an uncertain relationship with facts. We know she promises and doesn't deliver.

If she really cared, really cared about people who are struggling - she'd admit her own failings to herself and get her house in order.

You can't pour from an empty cup.

Marcus and his team seem driven, focussed and effective. They have the country behind them.

It’s not very professional is it. Most freelance journalists would be phoning round all the papers/mags if they have an idea for a story. You have to be pretty proactive in that line of work.
Not Jack though. She just sits there like Lady Muck expecting the offers to come flooding in, and asking Twitter followers to pull strings for her.

I don’t believe her. It’s just too convenient that she has all this “evidence” but it’s in her DM’s so no one can see it.

I had a Pyrex jug explode like that in the kitchen sink too! I don't even remember there being anything to cause it. That injury sounds like a nightmare though, I escaped with a few scratches.

I've got the ninja dual (replaced am ancient breville halo that I loved), and I want to hate the ninja, but it's so damn useful!

But, but she's been in the papers tatts and all,

I don't think it's that pet is just an easy way to say we don't to work with you.

Time for a Twitter break please Jack. She's long overdue one. The constant tweeting, the empty promises, the lists, the endless self obsession. Keyboard warrior of the highest order. Take a day off

Is being white and middle class what might be regarded as an "unorthodox background". This image she has of herself as a plucky outsider is fucking incredible. She's the ultimate sharp elbowed middle class chancer and only tonight has been called out for stealing the work of a working class woman and trying to take ownership of her story. Radical idea but how about we listen to people experiencing poverty and let them put their own views forward without Jack getting in the way.

I'm on a minor grunk here as I stopped reading earlier this evening around dinner time, but I be confused. How would retweeting someone lead to all these terrible effects, when sending out umpteen billion tweets centred on herself wouldn't? Where's the logic behind this? This threat stuff ain't coming from the cabal anyway; no one here would touch her grimy bod with a ten foot pole. Think of the food poisoning you might acquire from her nails!

She's also completely evading the question of whether she asked for permission before appropriating someone else's stuff online. Plagiarist Jack is not a new personality.

Of course she’d be named in the final report if she was consulted. Consultations seek a wide range of views and the reports will name even the most difficult contrarian back benchers and activists if they were consulted.
She’s talking absolute shite.
Probably still a bit salty that we spotted she wasn’t mentioned in the National Food Strategy report despite having pretty much claimed that she gave Henry Dimbleby all his ideas
