Google tells me that photo in front of Downing Street is from July 2018.

Holy cow. Show me the pictorial definition of "Delusions of Grandeur".

Haven't squigged SB's face, as this shot is in the public domain AND she's posted it.

Wasn’t the trip to Downing Street in something like 2016? Also, you’re still such a dick with money that you still only (not really) have £10 pp for food. How’s it really going, Jack?

Yes I really agree with this and that's what makes it so problematic because why is she deemed to be the acceptable or if you will photogenic face of poverty? While others who genuinely struggle are sidelined and are not given media coverage?
I have often thought that really it's not Jack that I really have a problem with its the media who I think have given her this position not based on merit but because she represents their idea of a trendy fashionable person (holier than thou almost untouchable because of the big list of everything that makes her a self proclaimed victim?) who spouts the usual moral outrage not against poverty but against bad things happening to special people?

What's wrong in being an ordinary person down on their luck then?
Is that not considered news worthy enough?
Compare and contrast the work of Tish Murtha- "Tish Murtha understood that the poor and vulnerable don't simply 'fall through the cracks' of society rather they are denied the tools to navigate and escape structural inequality." — TISH director Paul Sng.

Exactly. I think all of our “how it’s going” pics (including Jack’s) would be pretty dire right about now.

Maybe Joe Wicks and Jeff Bezos could be excluded though.

In her comments she claims she would rather live at No. 11 because there are fewer mendacious (🤬) fools to deal with. She has no idea does she? Does she know about Sunak’s a) background and b) wife and in-laws?

I I I think I have 36 teeth. Do I need to go to A&E? What even am I? 😭

FALSE ALARM! I’m just an idiot. I have 32. Oh god I’m so relieved. I thought I was going to have to update my email signature (I don’t have Twitter)

and so much to unpack with this one:

(a) does she know what goes on at Number 11?
(b) does she know what "defund" actually means?
(c) does she know that the current PM actually lives at Number 11?
(d) HOWEVER, a big thanks to Jack for chucking another "mendacious" our way.

I just have no words. Well, I do. However none that are polite. No matter ones views on the current PM, obviously this past year has been unexpectedly difficult to navigate and violence is certainly not the answer with regards to getting change and/or who people think should be in charge etc. Plus FK me, if JM was in charge the whole FSM debacle would look like a flipping banquet compared to what she'd recommend and serve up.

Wonder if it's as tedious as a tenant who doesn't pay their rent, Jack?

Also, he's "refusing" to leave? Pretty sure...no, actually TOTALLY sure...that he won an election...

Watch out, Poca, she's behind you! Clanking chains, shimmering Viv dress 'an all.
It’s ok, she’ll be tired - she’s in her ‘I can stand on tiptoes for 12 minutes whilst delivering a keynote speech, cos I’m a trained ballet dancer’ skirt. Her calf muscles will be too weary for chasing.
