I’ll take the glass jars full of table salt and twigs if she throws in a coat hanger extension made from ring pulls.
The current price hikes especially in fuel and the cost of living are also hitting the well off. I work in a very affluent area in my city( unfortunately I don't earn muchNot the most clued up frau regarding benefits, so forgive any ignorance on my part.
If Jack's pity parties on Twitter were to be wholly believed (works for free, no savings, £34 in account etc) then she surely would qualify for one of the benefits and possibly even housing benefits too (again apologies for my lack of knowledge). The fact she doesn't is indicative that she is lying about her circumstances, but the squigs can't work it out. Maybe her earnings are too high, or too much squirrelled away in savings. If she really was so destitute then the DWP would help her.
She said in the committee yesterday that she had to wait 5 weeks before getting any money during The PovertyTM , but even that is a retelling of the overly retold story.
There are safety nets out there, you've got to jump through hoops to get them, but they do exist. Jack is making out that there is no hope nor help. It's a very damaging point of view to provide to her followers. She is so heartless to behave this way, it's all a game to her. Just another reason to rattle one of her many tip jars.

Today’s chaos inspired me to think “what is her damage?”OONI PIZZA OVEN IS MINE!!
She's a full Monet.Today’s chaos inspired me to think “what is her damage?”
Last weekend, my partner was up from London (the move north has been delayed due to world events🔺️). Marcus came on TV.The idea of Manc Bee getting all suited up to go neutralise the spoons at the slop scene has left me a little flusteredView attachment 1116215
I was going to grab this but as you've beaten me to it could I would like the £300 suit bought after the DIVA pdf, it's never seen the light of day since and it would look better on me.I bagsy the tampon pineapple.
If her situation were as she described it then she would be due some top up benefits but her Patreon alone means she's overshot the threshold by some way. If her arthritis and other health issues were as described then even with the Patreon she might well be due some PIP to help with additional costs arising from her disabilities.Not the most clued up frau regarding benefits, so forgive any ignorance on my part.

Re the 5 week delay, I think she may have ret-conned that in as it is now standard, but yours right, pre-UC things were sometimes slower than ideal but it wasn't baked in like it is now.If her situation were as she described it then she would be due some top up benefits but her Patreon alone means she's overshot the threshold by some way. If her arthritis and other health issues were as described then even with the Patreon she might well be due some PIP to help with additional costs arising from her disabilities.
In terms of her original claim during The Poverty she would have been due Income Support, Child Tax Credit, Child Benefit and Housing Benefit. I find it hard to believe all those benefits took five weeks to come through at that time- I was doing welfare rights at that time and I'd have been worried if they took longer than four weeks (2-3 weeks would be about what I'd expect back then). HB can take a bit longer because it involves quite a few checks but it would have been fully backdated. She certainly wouldn't have been well off but if she hadn't delayed claiming for ages in order to play the martyr she'd have been a good deal better off than she was. If she'd really been sensible and worked something out with the fire service she could have been in line for working tax credits and help with childcare costs but she chose to throw away a decent job in a tantrum. Any CABx or local money advice service would have helped her through all this every step of the way and could have helped negotiate with any creditors she may have had but she chose not to ask for help.
Thank you, Colouredy L, for all that you do.I wanted to answer the eternal question: how many times has Jack Monroe moved house?
In doing so, I also found that the shitty bungalow may, in fact, not be the first place that Jack considers to truly be a home...
October 2011: Jack breaks up with her partner & moves out into "executive luxury apartment"
(can't find receipt right now, sorry)
October 2012: Jack moves into the flat with the mirrored tiles in the kitchen, seen in many early Poverty news stories

(Incidentally, I know some Frauen believe that Jack moved back home at this time. I read some of her blog comments that indicate that she didn't, but I can't find them right now. She could be lying, but I'll assume she isn't. For once.)
OCTOBER 2013: Jack has moved out and is now living with the Mrs Jack of the day

Interlude: in December 2013, she has a guitar that has moved house with her 12 times. Didn't sell that, then?

We have a lack of info now. We know she moved in with Allegra in mid-2014, breaking up with the previous Mrs J some time before then.
