Cue Jack sharing “this great recipe her Ma just remembered...” as soon as she gets the ingredients together.
Every time I make 15s for English they are initially horrified and don’t want to touch them. Some persuasion is usually required. Then they disappear like Jacks latest bandwagon.

Marcus has replied which has probably resulted in a squeal and a whoop and a kitchen dance.

I am just relieved that the reply suggests her lack of involvement - as well as showing how lovely he is (again).

Fingers crossed it’s a Tom Kerridge thing because I have a soft spot for him and they have already mentioned doing a collab.

FSM Jack (NOTICE MEEEE posts on MR Twitter) and Politico Jack are both my least favourites, especially world politics. How did she even manage to get a humble brag about her platform size into a tweet about something like that? That’s some skill.

She is! At least she hasn't wheeled out the crushingly painful appropriated slang this time I suppose, that still gives me second-hand embarrassment

kachoochoo

she's using "proud of you" in the way that twitter fandoms do to like harry styles or bts or whatever

they are literal children though, not 33 year old middle class mums

This is the best description of Twitter I have EVER seen. It's absolutely spot on. Jack so clearly uses it to ingratiate herself with the 'in group' of media types who dominate that app. It's a complete and utter joke of an app. Certain people believe they set the agenda for the national conversation but it's only because they're the ones who are commissioned to write about those topics in the national papers and best-selling magazines.

Is the issue here really that she is white and not that she is Jack?

I’m not a big 15 fan personally, I would rather have a flakemeal shortbread.

If Jack really wanted to make the most of her del Monte partnership surely she would channel her NI heritage and make pineapple delight traybakes... made well they are a show stopper.

Given Jack is late for everything she won't chaos today. She'll likely do it tomorrow to confound expectation. She hates the idea that we have her number.

I always find people who are seen as peers saying I'm proud of you as a bit condescending. For me it's something that a parent would say to a young child after a big accomplishment, someone who is seen as within the same age brackets it just sounds like they are stating you did good but I'm still bettter. I always say well done or good for you if my friends so well. I feel it's less condescending.
