Jack didn't talk about anyone but herself in that article.
But according to Zoe she's the most admirable person I will ever meet.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Very rare. My home and contents insurer recently decided that they'd rather duck off the whole insurance thing and go into smart tech. They informed me of this a week before my renewal date via an email that went straight to spam. If anything necessitated a letter, it would surely be that.
I love that she's getting earache off of people who she claims to serve and represent. I dislike people pleasers with a passion. Stand for nothing and you'll fall for anything. I have a lot more respect for people who make their stance clear and can explain why they have those views. Jack's weather vane approach has landed her in the tit with so many people and it will be DELICIOUS to see how she moves on from here.
Also the madness of that article “briefed to the Times so that no-one on a low income could read it”
1. Did they forget to include the words “behind a paywall” in that sentence or are poors impaired in some way that they no longer have the capability to read the Times? When you get poor, you get thinner and less able to see news in the Times?
2. Other non paywall news sources are available though, aren’t they

Yeah I work in a primary school and numerous times we’ve been asked by parents to print off the PDF gas/electric/phone bill/statement that generally they offer buried on their website as proof of address for various purposes.
Also places that do send paper bills are increasingly charging for it, my mum can’t do online at all (and is a stubborn in the fact she has no interest) so she gets paper bills from BT and is charged for them. Which doesn’t fit JMs narrative, though is an interesting point about charging people who in some cases might not be able to afford the online stuff.
Don't worry if you slip up and eat a pack of chicken slices from the yellow sticker section! Just delete any tweets about it and keep calling yourself vegan. That was then, this is now.
Go squiggles

Go Squiggles!!!
Do you think Linda McCartney (the company, not the lady) knew Veganuary had binned her? Personally I think that's why Jacko was tagging Veganuary in December, to make LM think she was still on board...
Still annoyed at the Guardian article, thought I should just do a sense check though. Edit-pic sizing

And the moral of the story? Do not anger a vegan

Only a fool would write a recipe, when you can simply assemble them via autocomplete...
No doubt she'll either view them as an angry and feral mob who are trying to bully her out of a job or she'll start bigging up times where she has cooked vegan food (or something to that effect). Some vegans and vegetarians can get really protective over the term because, obviously, it's a lifestyle choice and can run really deep for some people. Believe it or not, Jack, some people actually care about animal welfare and will actively campaign (!) for the production of pig trotter sausages to end. Tbh, the squiggle who made a comment about vegan-ish is right. People don't want to feel like their dedication to a lifestyle which prioritises the welfare of animals is a quick trend an outsider can cash in on for quick money. I think the rule here is that if you're marketing a cookbook as vegetarian or vegan, it goes down a lot better in those circles if you are a certified vegetarian or vegan, as those terms do carry the implication of caring about not using animal products in more than just cooking.Shittttttttt.

It's harder for potentially angry parents to tell when a few frozen chips have been sneaked away than child-generated bread/jam/biscuit crumb carnage.
What's happened to the six-month partnership with Del Monte? It was announced on 9th December but there hasn't been anything yet apart from the undeclared advert in the Express just before Christmas? Maybe it's one advert each month and January's is still to come? 
Pretty sure she did tho.
Even if RM rejected the interview opportunities, any editor worth their salt would surely encourage their journalists to contact the very people the issue is affecting at this moment in time!?
I know lots of other people have already commented on it, but the use of “feral” is just so inappropriate and offensive.
I work with traumatised children and it’s appalling that this phrase would be used and then printed by a newspaper.

Oh bless ‘em. They know not what they do.
I sound like my Auntie Vi now (
although she’s just dust now).
Completely agree! Her parents fostering in 1993 could have coincided with her starting school and it probably grated her corned beef knowing these random “feral” kids were at home with her mum!
She should be ashamed of her descriptions of her siblings in that article. She won’t be, but she should be.
