The trifle thing was absolutely bizarre. Spending Christmas Eve morning on a manic, one-hour long tangent in which she (with photographic evidence) slated the hard work of other food writers and home economists. I know a lot has happened since then (and it's not even been three weeks yet!), but I still struggle to get my head around that one in particular.

She really is an enigma.

As well as being a rude, greedy, grifting grade A nasty twit.

Typical Christmas eve activity for 'Zen mama' Jack

These are the exact same "hampers" given out first lockdown. Jack was enraged then, for all of 24 hours, promised to do loads (has anyone got the receipts?), did sod all and so here we are again, round 2. The only reason it's got traction this time is down to MB, who is incredible and respected and a true activist. Jack should be ashamed of herself for doing nothing last time and for centering herself right in the thick of it this time.

I give it another hour or two before she asks if it's OK to go for a piss and a sandwich now and is thanked profusely by hundreds of squiggles for "all she does" (tweet).

Dont be angry folks, its pretty funny - shes hyped to duck at feeling important, revelling in others misery for her own gains. When shes only the stand in, always available, 'poverty' person now that we have someone ACTUALLY making change like MR.

She'll come crashing down. I wonder what will happen when she does her next delete spree. Will she bear with deleting this tweets? Lol. bleeping loser.

I will ask for their name to be obscured from my posts? I think that will work.
I don’t think you dox by saying they liked a post.
yeah incorrect use of doxxing as I’ve not published their address etc, just conscious of singling one person out with a @ Jack can set people on. It happened to our BT and was horrid :(

I am right behind the packed lunch campaign. 100% I think bread and fruit and veg is fine for lunch. It's the middle of a pandemic, surely every little helps. What do people want to be in these boxes?
It's the quantity of what had been provided as much as anything, and the amount they are being paid to produce these boxes.

There is simply not enough food in them

I'm excited to ( not) tweet my busy mp Thursday. I do hope she reminds me.? Or as that all stopped now?
Exactly. I’m planning to tune in for exactly THAT. After all that ‘noise’ and declaring herself the founder, it’s all gone v quiet. Funny that 🙄

She's on BBC news now.
Well, the actual parent concerned was busy, MR was busy, everybody else was busy - she was just knocking around squawking 'I'M NOT BUSY! HELLO! I'M HERE! ME! ME!'. If there's nobody better around, I suppose they thought she'd have to do.

Distinct lack of her featuring on Channel 4, though. Strange, that.

Ye gods and little fishes. I've had a lengthy absence as I went to see my mum on Christmas Day and she started showing COVID symptoms (she works in a test centre) so I got stuck there for a fortnight with no laptop and no idea what password I chose for Tattle.

Everything that she's done in that time has been demented but this is truly low. Obviously every post has dissected the madness far better than I could. I posted about it on Twitter before but deleted it as - after my JISCMail rant about her - I don't want to look obsessed or unhinged in an already difficult postdoctoral job market.

Don't think Jack realises what a luxury it is to be consistently unprofessional on public social media and still earn loads of money and get bookings.

Just thought I'd add, as well, that the British equivalent of AAVE is BBE (Black British English). Jack's attempt to compel Marcus to give her attention by using it was quite something. I don't understand how she hasn't been cancelled yet.

I cant wait until Thursday to see if she does THUNDERCLAP.

She cant say shes 'too busy' because otherwise that would mean she doesn't want to stand up for the NHS any more which would make her look a bit of a dick after all the fuss she kicked up.

So, have seen the latest tweet and am rushing to say her stating she is donating her writing fees is in direct contradiction to her 'its my story,I am a freelance writer working from home in a pandemic' tweet, that I understand she has now deleted!

Honestly, WTAF
Just a quick, subtle change of tack towards the most effective way to make money.

Been thinking about MR.

What he's done is really fantastic and the thing is he doesn't NEED to do it. He's incredibly wealthy, set for life, has recognition and along with that a high media profile. People pay attention to what he says.

It feels like he does this because he genuinely does care and wants to help - and I think people respond to that.

Clearly something that needs to be archived. One day, they’ll all understand your sacrifice, Jack! One day!
