She could apply for UC with 15999 quid in the bank if she has no work just now. She would still get some personal UC element , a child element and some money towards her rent. You don’t need to be on the bones of your arse to claim benefits. What’s stopping her? The fact that she’s got a regular income courtesy of her fans?

She is, perhaps the looming libel lawsuit made her cough up...
The ‘missing’ year of 2019-2020 she may have perhaps not earned a great deal but lucky for her we weren’t really fully aware of her until March 2020 when she started saying she had lost all of her work
2020-2021 will have been a great year for income. Is she seriously saying she didn’t earn 12500 forDKL? Then there was hellmans and all the other stuff. Perhaps she has now done a personal tax return but there is something dodgy with her company accounts and she isn’t being transparent. And that’s the issue. Her lack of transparency.
Here I am, still catching up. You're right Hotes, that's exactly what she did on her Facebook account. I couldn't believe that any parent would make life difficult for themselves, and more importantly, their child.Even then she seemed to lap up the attention, repeating the same thing, and being given the same advice over and over again.
While I'm posting I want to apologise for not being able to acknowledge people's posts with emojis. My laptop broke, so I use my phone and my arthritic hands struggle to do much more than scroll. I'm worried I might press an inappropriate emoji and upset someone, but I'm here reading along, nodding, raging and laughing with you all. Clearly Jack's worst arthritis ever doesn't stop her typing on a phone, or writing reams of pointless, performative twaddle in her expensive notebooks with pens nobody else is allowed to touch.
Tried to quote Hotes' post and quoted ColouredLines instead, so have had to delete that bit and this will probably make no sense now but it took me ages so I'm posting it. My very own chaos

I honestly just can’t with her right now. This pile on was the last straw for me. I honestly don’t think she’ll ever get her ‘come uppance’ her fans are just too frothing and manic.
Can I just say that I find the memories of DKL and the various lockdown live colabs very triggering

Don’t worry dear heart - in my experience every reaction is appropriate to Jacks current omnichaos.Here I am, still catching up.

I'm sure Jack is scribbling a scathing essay on the rollercoaster of football right now. No doubt it's something to do with her being a single mum that stopped Liverpool winning the league.
The annoying thing about that piece, or one of the annoying things, is that she always focusses so much on the negative comments (also imagined ones of the 'they must thinks ABC' kind) and people who dismissed Ken Loach's movie as not realistic in this case. She never really celebrates people helping others.
I am Daniel Blake – and there are millions more like me | Jack Monroe
Writer and activist Jack Monroe knows from their own experience that Ken Loach’s portrayal of life on benefits is heart-wrenchingly accuratewww.theguardian.com
She must have forgotten that she was part of the research for I, Daniel Blake when she penned this article. She does remind readers that she turned down selling her life story for film rights, of course. And there's an obligatory wall punch thrown in for good measure. Which is all true. Because Jack literally cannot lie. *Softly, gently, yawns and rolls eyes for infinity*
I am not saying the poverty in the UK is not maddening, or that there is no place for anger. But it's like she enjoys revelling in that sentiment more than focussing on the people that help. The language is always aggressive or dramatic (the wailing, the wall punching, the nausea etc). Even her calls to action have an agrgession to them.
Just to clarify in the last week(?) Jack has claimed:
- she doesn't earn enough to pay taxes (£12500)
- she earns £22700 a year
- she earns little enough to qualify for UC (not sure but I think it starts tapering at £350/wk?)
- she has paid all of her taxes thankyouverymuch
Make it make sense!

The libel trial will be her comeuppance if it goes ahead. All her shadiness will come out in the wash.
While we're sharing old Guardian pieces, I meant to post this the other day when she was intimating that Jamie Oliver stole her recipes. It's in the Guardian but filed under someone else's byline (not sure why!) so it's not immediately evident when you're doing a search.

Jack Monroe on Jamie Oliver: 'I've never made a recipe of his that hasn't worked' | The Cook's Cook
A chance cookbook purchase turned Jack Monroe on to a cheeky, chatty, more confident way with food

"I’m sorry, I whispered, sloping out to punch a wall in the corridor" is so funny to me. Yeah yeah we need to pay Jack a LIVING WAGE for her screeds about gentle wall punching and slop
Yep because that’s the only thing that is public and isn’t up to date!
£22K is a decent dividend in my eyes - if that’s what she means.
The list of witnesses will be immense and all with an audit trail.
God. I remember that essay about Daniel Blake. Do duck off Jack.
On another note. I’m going to make myself look really shallow here but Miguel Barclay is quite fit isn’t he?
When I watched that video I couldn’t believe how natural he was on camera and that video was from 2017
Plus what he was cooking looked edible.
Jacks story is a honking pile of steaming shite from start to end. She’s saying she’s got trauma from claiming working tax credit
Get in the bin you idiot.

I'm surprised her hands are in one piece after all the clawing, punching, ripping over the years
