I was just thinking about the stolen sledge the other day! It's a classic
He needs to have a recent victim slopified.

It really is. Going off slightly wonky googling because the house was sold so long ago, ours is around the 117sq m mark. There was five of us, so hers is a lot of house for one/two people to be in. Throw in all the garden and outbuildings, it was madness to take the place on really. So much to try and keep on top of.
So true. I nearly said the same thing, jack does funk all that an actual real struggling person couldn't say or even a worker who works with real struggling people.
there's a lot of people locally taking up space of working classes because they know how to market themselves, and rather than their voice making a difference for everyone, it just makes a difference for that vocal family and people give them stuff and opportunities because they have 'put themselves out there'.
Fair play to them but it doesn't give a collective voice
Jack could quite easily use her reach, voice, clout, whatever, to recruit actual real voices, people who don't have to caveat everything with well it was ten years ago but I'm still as deserving.
I CBA to argue with it though, I will look like the bad person and a secret Tory or worse, bitter, tbh I am bitter.
Every day I'm battling something, pleading, defending, filling in forms, avoiding filling in forms, forms returned incomplete, not enough input from the other agencies named on the form because they don't believe you hence your completion of said forms in the first place.
humiliating meetings , horrible phone calls, home visits, zero privacy, being judged and challenged, disbelieved, shouted at by professionals, put downs, laughed at, knowing full well that if I were a different kind of person from a different kind of family, not fighting on my own, still looking smart and achieving because I have support , respect from others and self respect that I would be treated with respect and 'heard' instead of people telling me that others can manage being a working parent with much less, and worse disabilities, even though I know those others are getting more support, they have family around or partners and the famous ones have patreons and money thrown at them for doing eff all to improve my situation and that of people like me

The 2017 tweets that were on here recently would be ideal for Molly to pick up. Always grifting.I thought the same. I didn't find the teaser particularly shocking (sorry Molly). There is so much that could be highlighted about JM but, like has been said before, there is no stand alone *clanger*. It's a culmination of fibs and grifts. I still think the Hunger Hurts 1/2 blogs need to be unpicked. My biggest gripe is the performative poverty cosplay. I was so disgusted by the most recent begging letter I was sure it was going to bring her down. The lies in that alone are obvious and potentially easy to disprove. I've barely seen it mentioned. It seems to have been conveniently brushed under the carpet and forgotten. I'm really hoping Molly pulls something out of the bag. I get the impression that people are watching and waiting to see where it goes. There are some influential eyes on the AW account and even the FMs are being cautious. The silence is telling. Feels like the calm before the storm. I hope.
Just look at the bloody state of it. I wouldn't be surprised if, just out of shot, there was some poor bugger shackled to a radiator.
Grim.
I don’t think we’ll learn anything new from Molly’s upcoming blogpost, I think it will just be a way to collate together already known things, which is useful in itself.
Honestly, although she writes very well, I don’t think she’s a journalist, or someone who knows Jack in real life. If it turns out I’m wrong I’ll happily admit it. She could literally be anyone.

I think what AM's article does do, is provide reasonable evidence for Anderson's comment ie it blows the libel case out of the water. If/when JM loses work/income/reputation she won't be able to claim "unfair" because people will eventually see that she's simply not good enough at what she does, whether that's cooking, presenting, writing, or advocacy. OK, so she's got a whole snake basket full of ~disabilities~ but so have a million other people... those people accept that and don't take on massive projects or make promises they can't keep before snarling blame onto everyone else. I'm also kinda crap at life and project managing those great ideas and a hoarder so I understand that bit - BUT because I know that, I don't put myself in the public eye imagining I'm important. This is where the narc comes in, in that she is incapable of seeing and dealing with her own limitations, with the sad result that she then doesn't achieve what she might if she reeled herself in. Jack of all trades is master of none indeed (so clearly her family spotted this trait early on). Where she has "made a difference " is purely through having been lucky enough to be given a voice where dozens of other people could have done the job better. That's what really winds me up.
"Family snugtime room" makes me want to punch things. Reminds me of when I was internet dating and discounted one man immediately because he described himself as "big, furry and loves huggles". Blek.
Also, Vlad tried to entice me with some budget storage racking but I fluffed getting the screenshot.
To be fair to Mick Lynch (and Bob Crow before him) he is elected by the union membership and paid by the union itself, slightly different.
Another smol pixie here (5”2 because who the hell says 5”1.67 or whatever Jack says she is) She must have at least one of those ugly, functional IKEA wooden step stool things. If you don’t have one I recommend them. Me and my partner call it my short person stool
Is that aimed at Harold?
Did this tweet happen after the mysterious affair of the self tweeting phone?
did Jack delete that post where she accused him of gaslighting her? Or that ones where she went you told me I should see a doctor, so here's my tinder profile ha ha ha.
or is it aimed at LJC. Are the posts implying financial abuse/being left with an unbreakable rental contract still extant?
or the whining about the welfare check (I suspect Old Harold) is that still standing?
or those threats with Mr Pro Bono of 1 Israel Street, are they still there?
all on Jack's so-called professional Twitter account.
btw does the bootstrap cook site have a different domain name?
Other relatively well off people who have no idea what a genuinely poor person’s kitchen would look like
that’s the crux of it
Love to you
Well, are you?Jack happily taking the credit for the ONS work without a shred of embarrassment or any attempt at humility, again shows her complete lack of conscience. No shame felt at all, even when these things can be disproved. It's just like when LJC tweeted that Jack had invented Healthy Start vouchers, and Jack just went along with it.
I wonder if the ONS would answer questions about Jack's 'involvement', that could be interesting...

And is very obviously an upstairs room, what with the sloping walls and all
