Chris Giles keeps calming pointing out the facts while Jack gets increasingly rude, snippy and nonsensical.
Maybe she can sense it all slipping away from her.
She really is an expert in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

@People-huv-tae-know can u do a big cool little cool picture please?
Apparently even if Jack is completely wrong it will valuable to discuss why she's completely wrong 
Chaossoulet
And Jack LOVES facts!
I never understand why she argues with people who clearly know more, not everyone is a Tory poor hating monster. Some people actually have this has their "proper job"
By all means highlight but then sit the duck down so people can see redcar facts!

I think the department of Asda that got in touch with her was the legal department.
Ahhh but her "hunch" is as good as his (I suspect Giles isn't basing his tweets on a "hunch") because she went to a food bank once, and hoards ancient supermarket receipts.
I’m not going to start buying the FT but I will look at it admiringly when I see it in the wild in Chrismate’s honour.
(I used to work in an office that got multiple copies of the FT every day - seems like olden days now)

She was definitely accusing them of trying to deliberately starve The Poor's last week. Lying git.
Hasn’t she created a shortage of Cotswold furniture, with her gross over consumption?
The problem with Jack is I think she’s an insecure narcissist who spends her whole life opportunistically trying to find ways to control your opinion of her so that she is fed the attention and validation she dearly needs.
I think some of the work she’s highlighting is a good thing and I commend it - but I don’t feel it’s a cause she’s passionate about because of the cause - she’s passionate solely about the validation. This is just her most passionately successful grift to garner attention. You can tell the ones that are passionate about the cause more than themselves; they aren’t posting selfies all the time and they are too busy fighting the cause to make themselves the victim.
I have friends who care about many things deeply and I also have friends who are narcissists and their Instagram is just constant pictures of themselves. I can tell the difference.

I think a problem Jack is going to encounter here is that for a decade she’s relied on extremely emotive, “lived experience” type fabrications recollections of her time in poverty, and it has generally been impactful and flies even with many academics, as noted by the fawning I see on Twitter 
.
Quantitative types are a different breed*, I’ve watched people in my department who’re doing economics stuff be literally brought to tears in the Q&A sessions after presentations by professors picking apart their methods and calculations. Jack honestly hasn’t got the chops for this sort of work. She’s not smart enough in the first place (no criticism there: nor am I… hence I do not do numbers), but even if she was she’s just not capable of taking critique to improve what she’s done anyway.
*not that there aren’t wankers and angels in all circles, of course.

Which is exactly the issue that should have been tackled
