Jeez, I’ve had to grunk quickly to catch up the last couple of hours!
- tiger squigg’s profile is a bit scary
- I have tried Aquafaba meringues. They have an aftertaste of wet washing.
- But, she LOVES Po-Tay-toes
- I wouldn’t want to be in Jack’s book club.

Very sad to see that the Brassed Off dvd didn't make the cut for the newest version of her reading list.
I now have this picture of the squigs scrolling through Twitter during their lunch of Very Posh Lunch and Artisan coffee from Posh Artisan Lunch Hub (take-away so last year) telling each other how inspiring they find Jacksie and isn't her meal planner absolutely wonderful for The Poors. They like a few posts, perhaps forward a couple and then that is it. They have done Their Bit for society. 
I read that Jack has a delivery pass to prevent impulse buyingWhy doesn’t she use the supermarket delivery? Some of the slots are 2 quid?
She does, the trek across streams and mountains is all pretendWhy doesn’t she use the supermarket delivery? Some of the slots are 2 quid?
Is there anything that screams more 'middle class Guardianista' than owning a bleeping book called 'The Working Class'?
Also, I earn about 50% of the median wage (not a poor smol pixie - I work part time by choice) and have never had to resort to budgeting £20/week for food. Surely the only people who have to cut back that drastically are people who have no income except benefits and/or have several kids to feed. How on earth is a midwife with a (presumably also employed) partner struggling that much?
Deploy performative books that have never been read nor ever will be.
Showing off all those books…pricey!
and fair enough chances most are freebies but she’d never acknowledge the privilege of being so well connected that this is normal for her.

Well, there was that time during the November lockdown in 2020 when she was teaching Louisa Compton, head of news and current affairs at Channel 4, how to bake a potato but they burnt the potato, so
Has anyone explained to Jack that reading a left wing book, doesn't actually make you left wing? I've read plenty of books by conservative/right wing writers, without turning into Margaret Thatcher.
Jack if you want people to believe you've actually read these books, you need to crease the spines a bit. It's also quite striking that this extensive reading is never actually reflected in her poor me witterings.

If she was a genuine working class poor person, she wouldn't need a book to understand it. Not one poor person I have known has ever wanted or needed to read about poverty because they are too busy navigating their way through it trying to survive and cope. Jack pretends to research poverty and inadvertently reveals that she never was poor.
Very proud of those 20-odd books isn’t she? Reading age of 7 when she was 5 for crying out loud! Now look at her! She sometimes sends this picture to her old librarian who laughed at her when she tried to take out The Republic by Plato aged 8. Needless to say she had the last laugh.
She'll be looking for anecdotes to steal, particularly from the more personal/memoir type books. The Marx and theoretical stuff is just for show.
The sloppy world of Alex Jack
Pratchett borrowed the VBI from Robert Tressell, 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists'..
ETA.. A missing letter.

Dunno, is it like Triggers broom?
Exactly. I actually thought Poverty Safari was really good but its target audience is very obviously not 'people who are already poor'. Maybe she'd know that if she'd read it
ETA: ironically, Jack probably IS its target audience. She's just too thick to realise she's telling on herself by revealing it.
