THE PESTO! It's like the one thing that broke me here. She blended a wilted bag of salad with some lemon juice and called it pesto, I guess because it's green? Like vegan nduja mayo didn't bother me in the way that goddam pesto did.

I have no idea, I confess I searched JM on FB to ensure none of my mates had posted her inflammatory claptrap and this was one of the first results.
As per my aforementioned horrible hipster status I love that stuff but I buy it in the Mediterranean food hall on my road and it's a pretty luxe item so I'm not buying it at the end of the month. Not sure anyone is using rose petal infused jarred goods as a staple but happy to be corrected!
ETA just to be pedantic, those are two different products in case people hadn't noticed, so it's funny AND wrong.
New bio.
That headline is so wildly irresponsible, I’m bleeping fuming. And her stupid smug face absolutely loving all the drama she’s causing and attention she’s getting.
I'm thinking there's going to be the beginnings of a backlash* after the "Poor will starve to death" headline.
It's inflammatory and panic provoking, and her smug chops on the front page don't help either.
I wish they'd used the kumquat pic

It's irresponsible to a staggering level to attach your name to a quote that reads "Poor will starve to death" in the same month you've dropped more than £100 on some manky old spoons. Put that on your sodding front page, Sunday People,.
She did it again!! Rubbish screenie so deleted and uploaded. 
Yes Jack, poor people will suffer because of higher food prices. But cheaper food is not the answer, higher wages and more affordable utilities and housing is.
I’d love someone to reply, when she tweets that Lidl is too far for her ‘it’s not all about you’. How she’s got a national platform when she doesn’t know what she’s talking about is ridiculous, where are the fact checkers?

Do you think the People could have found a picture of Jack where she looks even more smug? I'm not sure it's quite enough for a headline about poor people starving to death. Nice black outfit though. Much Dylon, v depressed.
Anyway I am owling now because Vlad is suggesting a vital product for the VBI: engagement rings.

Long-time lurker of these threads. She is so disingenuous with what she is doing. I can't believe she has signed off and think it is okay to have that as a front-page cover.
Anyway, after my shift today I went to Asda, and lo and behold they had rice at 45p, pasta at 29p, and spaghetti at 20p.
I wish she would stop cosplaying poverty. Like many on these threads, I grew up in poverty and I work as a nurse in a hospital in a very deprived area. She has no clue whatsoever.

It will be "dear newspaper, pay for my research and accompanying article...or I'll give it to XYZ rival publication". And she'll play one paper off against the other, so the editors don't have fomo. That's the monetary lever....
Does she look like someone who’s worried that ‘the poor will starve to death’ or does that tit eating grin look like someone who is loving all this?!
As always when things are going her way, she looks like the cat that got the cream only to find it soured three months ago.
That headline - how can that be allowed?! She’s a bleeping disgrace. Her enablers are no better.
How is she a cost of living campaigner? Beyond crowd funding to fund her cost of living what does she actually do?!
Will be interesting to see how the grown ups reply to this ridiculous headline/story. It’s just not true.

She looks like hell.
I am actually worried for her health right now.
Why do they always pic such awful pics of her. Honestly it's like bullying
The writer of a piece doesn't choose the headline, but her retweeting it implies she endorses it. Gross.
That’s quite the irresponsible scaremongering article.
Why is she still dressed like Mary bleeping Poppins?!
