I’ve got it

Remember the grubby girdle and sweaty bra top pics.... there was going to be a BIG announcement?

She is deflecting because she doesn’t have one. Simples! That’s why she is “going off Twitter”!

Oh and @PennyLoafer i love Clive James, my English teacher used to go on and on about him and I remember watching him and laughing along. She had met him once on a trip to London and said he was everything she hoped he would be

What’s the name for the thing that jack does, where she says she does so much, so many good things, and then people parrot back to her that she’s so good and kind and giving - despite no actual evidence that she’s ever done anything that hasn’t been for her won ends. It’s like a bluff, mixed with reverse gaslighting.

Jack’s such a frequent flouncer off Twitter, I wonder if she’s got some kind of loyalty card. 5 flounces and she gets a free coffee?

Sorry if this is niche but Jack's extended Twitter goodbyes really remind me of the scene in Antony and Cleopatra where Antony says he's dying and everyone is like "ok, cool, bring on the pathos" and then he takes like, 18 pages of text to die.

Just fucking GO. Nobody gives a shite about lockdown larder, EVERYTHING is available in the shops at the moment. Look after your damn son. Get a Nokia 3310. Eat something nutritious (maybe try someone else's recipes, eh?).

On a more serious note, I'm scared that Jack will be so furious about my name appearing in her thread title. What will she do for revenge? Am I going to get a peach tray bake thrown through my window? A dead turtle lasagne? Does anyone have the contact details of a Welsh bodyguard?

There is a lot of parasocial interaction between Jack and her fans. It's really quite bizarre.
I've been thinking about how she deflects criticism. The whataboutery of it all is just like what Trump does. Total deflection.

This is a classy reference. I went here:

Out of interest, I had a look at the lockdown larder hashtag.

We thought it was dormant. We were wrong. Jack continues to delight and inspire her fans:
