Whaa?

She's added the hashtag EndChildPoverty to her video, and removed her slogan FeedThe Children from the body of it. She was clearly not on board with the strategy planned and instead was launching her own hashtag which she hoped would then go viral and she could then claim to be the founder of.

Just say that you lend your support to the current campaign. Ask them (behind the scenes) if there is anything you can do. The tweet that you have been in contact with all the key campaigners, and the bollocks about your haters wanting to divide and conquer does not help the cause you are trying to promote.

Yep hero squig seems lovely to spend the time doing that, not seen his profile though so touch wood not a neo nazi ey!

This is the worst Jack, panic invoking “we’re doomed” Jack. I hate the Tories as much as the next person but absolutely no good comes from scaring the people at the mercy of their policies? How is this activism?! Upsetting a mum that is holding out for that payment to buy new coats and shoes for her kids isn’t doing anyone any good, she’s a horrid ghoul.

Thankfully it’s not these mums following her, it’s great aunt Gertrude with 3 gardens RTing some factually inaccurate and poorly written JM tweets and feeling like she’s part of the #resistance

Oooh Pembrokeshire murders is so good isn't it? We can talk about it here because Jack's dad, Keith Allen, is in it.

What a catch up. She’s manic isn’t she. Have any of her ex fiancées liked or retweeted any of her millions of tweets?

It was quite obvious that she had an auto cue just above the camera and she was just reading it. Very few looks down the actual camera to make eye contact with the audience. She’s just not someone who is cut out for public speaking or being on tv. There’s no charisma/warmth. As shit as it is, sometimes you just need to realise that perhaps the “job” you so eagerly want is just not for you.

The thankyou after the squig if her a mention is telling. I think. She must be seething as she cannot scream they are leaving us women out as dear old Dame ET is a very active activist. Think of all the stuff she did in London during climate change.
She's be better of bowing out gracefully and yes continue to work behind the scenes as the topic is important and carry on with her own work.

She keeps saying she doesn't want fame, if that was the case she'd happily stay out of the limelight and let the real famous people do the work and following credit.

It’s nice to see THAT MAN get involved because he’s been campaigning for better nutrition for kids throughout his entire career. It makes sense for him to be part of the movement.

I used to hate him because they made us analyse his dialect and language in English Lang at school and they kept replaying this video of him saying “a bit woo, a bit wah, a bit bent”. It got to the point where I would howl and wail and claw at the walls whenever I had to hear his voice.

But I’ve been very impressed with how helpful he’s been over the lockdown and in particular his “7 ways” book which is full of real gems, proper food.

Maybe Jack should take a leaf out of his book and do something actually useful like produce the recipe books we were promised, or even an e-book with optional donation (TO CHARITY) for food voucher meal plans. Don’t worry Jackie luv you can steal my idea, I’ll let you pretend you came up with it yourself.

You know you've spent too much time here when in the work Teams chat you catch yourself writing 'Im BUSY' and 'Thank space you' (I blame Jack)

I was hesitant about sharing this one, because I don't want it to become the new born in 1978. Jack clearly does not secretly have a degree. Instead, I present this purely as evidence of her being a compulsive liar (and one who clearly thinks she's better than pub work, despite famously being qualified to do fuck all):

Oh god you're right! It's her dress up tv correspondent/challenge anneka outfit. She's pretending it's an earpiece.

Next she will have a cut out cardboard box on her head pretending to be on telly

I almost (but not quite) feel sorry for her over being left off the letter, it was clearly intentional not an an oversight. If she hadn’t behaved like an embarrassing, manic, self serving twat for the past three days I think she would have been asked to get involved. She’s done this to herself with her own hubris.

This morning the BBC have had Tom Kerridge and a woman I’ve never seen before on to talk about this issue. The woman came across as sane and intelligent, exactly the sort of interviewee the beeb want. Jack’s swivel eyed loon rants haven’t done her any good have they?

Hello from the past. Like others I had to step away as I couldn’t bear to read her glee when her tweets were getting attention while she grabbed onto others’ coattails and tried to lay claim to a cause.

I fucking HOOTED when Marcus posted his letter and included Jamie fucking Oliver and not her. Maybe it’d help if she used his hashtags and didn’t try and use her own. Then we she missed her 8pm RT for the hashtag she ~founded~ ffs. Absolutely lol when she tried to make it look she was messaging Marcus about the paywall but actually it was Roadside Mum. The use of initials made me think she’d done a typo but no.

I’ve checked in occasionally to make sure I’m not losing my mind (I’m not) but it has taken all my willpower not to tweet my mutuals who are fawning over her and say I can tell they weren’t watching when she was cancer cosplaying, bursting a million Covid “bubbles”, kitten torture etc.

Slowly, gently catching up from Tuesday but to quote her she is absolutely shameless.
