That Twitter thread is just a deflection. There was the MN thread the other day where people were posting about her not paying taxes, other Twitter accounts are getting more vocal in their criticism of her, and of course there are the Tattle threads where every single bullshit claim sheās come out with has been debunked several times over with receipts.
I donāt believe a word of it, but I think sheās thinking that if she mentions suicide everyone will back off. I also predict that tomorrow there will be multiple posts about the imaginary OH and a face tuned to duck selfie where sheās wearing bright colours because sheāll be on a high from all the likes.
I dislike her, for all the reasons everyoneās already said about that thread. Sheās a manipulative, disgusting prick and all anyone needs to know is DOESNāT PAY HER TAXES

This bloke is delusional, emailing her āstatsā for the VBI and pretending to have the authority to recruit for the UN. all these ppl embarrassing themselves for Twitter clout
For anyone tempted to believe her new version of how she spent the 24 hours after Hunger Hurts -
Imagine being passed out in the bathtub and able to blog a job ad at the same time:
(The cooking teacher was not for Jack, sadly. She went through a phase of blogging ads for volunteering roles.)
Also note that HH had received 6 comments at the time this archive was taken (Oct 2012). So no, its immediate viral impact did not save Jack's life.

Tomorrow is world grift day or whatever she was working on with twitter? Has she posted any more tips yet?
I had to sell my OMEGA SEAMASTERIn short: Your regular reminder that I HAVE SUFFERED. I WAS POOR. STARVING. AFRAIIID. And yet! I ROSE from the ashes! FOLLOW ME SQUIGS (link to Patreon in bio).
Also why apply for 14 jobs that day ifā¦ she planned toā¦?
You berated and mocked someone for saying pasta was cheap now you are claiming that a quid can feed 4 people? It canāt be both.
As in itās ok for you to say people can eat cheaply for less than a pound but not Tories?
If I had a fiver left I would buy super six veg. Noodles. Pasta. Or I would stalk the yellow sticker reductions. One thing I would NOT do is email Jack Monroe.
Ps Iām not a Tory. But why is it ok for HER to say people can spend their last quid making a meal for 4 but other people canāt suggest poor people buy pasta?
To get through the night?

Yes. Me too. Even though I know it's manipulation I still feel awful because I've been through certain things that mean I know how it feels to be in a certain place and I will always feel sympathy for that, before I have time to question the truth of it.
Hard agree. Like lots of us I have a history (and present tbh) of spotty mental health, self harm, therapy and some fun diagnoses. It's only my relative anonymity here that means I'm prepared to discuss it, as I don't ever want my daughter to know how bad things got at points because she was part of my life then. Probably the reason I'm still here is that there was just enough left of me when things were bad that thought I knew how bad it would be for my daughter if I wasn't.
I no longer think, I now know, how bad it would have been, because her dad died last year (not suicide, but tbh not far off, just a slow version involving alcohol). We weren't together any more and he was a very non-resident parent, she rarely saw him, but it was utterly devastating for her. I don't have the words for the pain she's been through as a kid losing a parent or really the emotional strength to explain how heartbreaking it has been for all of us who love her (and his other kids, though they are technically grown up now). It's been a lot, though, and Jack, if you grunk and look under this spoiler, then please stop using topics like this to deflect, and please stop writing things about suicide and parental death where your son can read them (and you've said he does read your Twitter). I've been through a lot of hard things, a lot of them on my own, and this one, even with plenty of support, has been the hardest. My ex left a trail of destruction through his childrens' lives with his way of life (always focused on him and his needs and his problems and his worse than everyone else's life) and his horrible death. Think on, please. Grow up. It's not all about you anymore.
Sorry everyone. That was a lot. I'm a bit triggered (which is on me for reading things I shouldn't, I know) I'm probably going to sit in the garden for a bit now.

Did it all fall out Jack? From the memory bank?
Ah, memories. Fancy a lecture on how they can be reconstructed?

Oh shut up and duck off.
Something has rattled her. She's off on a rant. I'm guessing someone has made comment about how tit her recipes are and her political take is that of a petulant sixthformer.
Feck me, sheās channelling Winston Churchill, talk about grandstanding and word salad, absolutely pitiful attention grabbing, soap dodging, smart price botherer. I just wish sheād get some emotional maturity and realise after a rant like that you canāt go spend time and be emotionally available for your son. But of course heās not there is he, which is part of the reason she rants. Shame on her for using him as a prop and shame on his Dad if he allows this narcissist unsupervised time alone with her.

Fgs she's gone back to the war years, alright Dickens tell us more?!
I was listening in my sick bed earlier, whilst my kids where in school to a crime podcast where a girl who always had to be the centre of attention did things purely for attention this included things like attempting to take their life and hurting themselves. Even in the interview room they cried everytime the interviewers left because they stopped giving her attention. It's awful to say it but I think this is it boils down to, no one ever pays her the attention she NEEDS!
One final note on the subject of Hunger Hurts:
Jack's job applications were painstakingly typed on this jurassic mobile phone which was an interesting choice, given that she didn't sell her iPhone until the following month: https://web.archive.org/web/2013020...oyed-mum-sells-off-belongings-essex-enquirer/
We know that she is medically incapable of lying, so...?

When did it go viral?
I would say if youād worked in a call centre itās quite easy to get another job in one. They have a high turnover of staff.
I canāt believe she applied for that many jobs and didnāt get anything. According to her sheās previously worked in bars, supermarkets, she cleaned in grandads b&bs etc. usually the biggest hurdle to employment is zero experience.

It's pure food snobbery, same thing with the baked beans.
She obviously thinks that eating tinned spaghetti and baked beans is beneath her, unless she rinses the sauce off and turns it into an ingredient in one of her recipes.
If she actually knew anything about real poverty she would realise that beans or spaghetti on toast are staple meals for many people. No need to duck about with them, they're fine as they are (unless if you have a bit of grated cheese or a fried egg to bung on the top, which makes them even better).
