I feel bad for her, too. RM’s being really aggressive and playing this all wrong, IMO, but we know how toxic Jack is. You have to pity anyone that has been sucked in by her, and unwittingly turned into a flying monkey.So after starting a hashtag () entirely based on writing template letters to your MP about NHS wages, and encouraging people (the day before a HoC vote) to write a letter to their MP about Universal Credit cuts, today Jack is on the front page of the Guardian discreetly slagging off Marcus, Tom, Jamie et al for... writing a letter?
People barely need to engage their brain to see the fault here. What is the matter with everyone?!
I feel terrible for RM, tbh. She’s obviously a hothead and I relate to that and don’t see anything wrong with being authentically angry but she’s clearly had her head turned a bit by Jack’s nonsense. And as has been noted much more eloquently by others, Jack has all kinds of privilege protecting her from backlash, that RM doesn’t. Jack’s a real bitch for allowing it to play out like this and pouring poison in RM’s ear. She could have sent her the letter in a private message first to ponder its authenticity, or just waited until after RM’s meeting with Chartwells, but instead she chose to throw the grenade from outside the room and close the door as chaos ensued.
Again, how the hell Louisa is watching all of this play out and not trying to put a stop to it is beyond me. Is she complicit, or just another one of Jack’s victims?
