I’m really sorry I’m from the past - I’ve spent three years doing a PhD in the prison climate. (Could be more obvious but ) and I’ve read a LOT over three full years. I’ve researched and written book chapters about Covid & prisons et et. Like I’ll be honest there isn’t a lot I haven’t read about the modern prison climate. And is she mentioned in a single fucking piece? Is she fuck. I’m sorry, this is so specific to me and I can’t believe she’s lying about it. So many of work on improving prison conditions (I know it’s a contentious issue!) but she has categorically not been involved.

She said yesterday she wasn't poor?

Is she talking about an immersion heater, pet you only put them on for about half an hour before you need them, if you put them on for 2 and go easy thr water can last most of the day.

A squig has worked out why her hot water is off

I've been on these threads for over a year, and more than once thought she would be unmasked for what she is. But this time I think it's really happening.
When JM used to tweet I would get her tweets pop up on my twitter feed as "25 people that I follow liked this tweet", now it might be 2 or 3. Several leftie accounts I follow have called her out or put out sub tweets referencing her performance poverty cos play.
I know of one left leaning media person who was about to publish something about the cost of living crisis and would be quoting JM in the piece - it was hastily revised before publication to remove her words and all mention of her. It's only a matter of time before there is a bigger expose now.

She is clearly shitting it, her behaviour is going from chaotic to deranged. She might not be drinking anymore, but she sure as hell isn't "sober".
She has been enabled to behave this way - feted and adored by her echo chamber "comments club". She doesn't seem to understand the sheer number of negative comments, which can no longer be explained away by being created by just TERFs/GC/Tories etc. are coming from her own people.

I think the mention of another adult was supposed to get the canal distracted (think of how many hours we spent on Harold memes last time), and forget about everything else - I assume because she thinks we all have smol puppy brains like her. My theory is that she has someone staying as a dog/cat sitter while she has been off on holiday and as a babysitter for SB during book festivals etc.

Also, for someone who spent hours pouring over building plans at Grenfell, it's strange how she doesn't understand the difference between water pipes and gas pipes, makes you think...

[That Forensic Man]

The latest ridiculous, performative £20 shop for slop might end up as damaging as HH2 has been so far. She's not even pretending this is what her meals will be built around this week, see how quickly she's boasting about the vegan(ish - LOL) steak and blue cheese surprise.

It was never about that. She just wants to boast (doesn't matter if it happened or not, truths and lies are interchangeable) about Asda reducing their prices after her "campaigning work". It's all about JACK. I do realise this isn't news to you.

As others have said, word is slowly spreading and she's becoming a joke. But only to those in the know. She'll still keep cropping up as an "expert" in the media, spreading her downright harmful, self-promoting, off the top of her big head bull. And she is literally harming people and she needs to be stopped.

It needs someone who knows her to speak out. And I'd blooming love it if Ash Sarkar (or if you don't like Ash, I do, name another journalist or outlet* here that Jack couldn't smear as having having an agenda) was nosing around behind the scenes, putting two and two together and working on a piece. A fair, balanced, factual takedown with a far wider reach than Molly has achieved so far. No offence to Molly, much thanks indeed for all they've done.

* if you name them, they'll likely find the post in their Google Alerts or social media monitoring.

It feel like it's all crumbling down and I'm absolutely here for it. Speaking of Google shall we take a look at some of Jack's Google reviews, see where she's really been spending her time and money? These are all from '2 years ago' per Google but will span a year, call it 2020 for sake of argument. I've grouped them by location radiating out from Southend, dropped the free parks/rec and left in links so you can get a feel for some of the opulence. If I'm feeling particularly forensic later I might calculate how much this little lot would have cost for say just 1 night/1 meal at each plus estimated travel costs. Note the lack of budget choices and glut of 4 and 5 star hotels. Not sure how forensic Jack is with leaving Google reviews, this could be just a small portion of her overall scampering that year and it won't show repeat visits.

I'm sure there's plenty to examine in more detail here but there are a couple of things that jump out at me:
Why did she claim Dishoom wasn't a chain restaurant despite having been to both the London and Edinburgh locations?
Why was she at YO! Sushi in Edinburgh airport, did she fly from/to Gatwick (see ibis London airport hotel)? One way train tickets hmm.
How is she able to afford so many private members clubs/lounges/suites?

Spoiler: fine print

I don't consider this a privacy issue as it's all from 2 years ago, it's not like I'm exposing her current location (her own tweets do that). Also this information is (and will remain to be) publicly available to anyone, see Google's privacy policy. She has another account (we'll get onto that, this wasn't a one-off year) with 160k views on her 20 photos.

Jack telling someone to spend less time on Twitter. BRB, can't breathe from laughing.

 

[Veronicaaa]

She really posted this lol

 

[Orphan_Black]

First look at her Netflix scam documentary....

Spoiler: A folded arm, shadowy figure emerges to tell his story...

 

[Veronicaaa]

OMG she's replying to Kirsty S, she's going to get destroyyyyyed.

ETA - it's literally ~right here~ she says, dredging up a tweet from April and assuming everyone should know about it.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

 

[Veronicaaa]

Whyyyyy is she 'liking' every tweet the Asda social media people are posting? This is madness.

My editing timed out so I couldn't add the latest Tweet to my post. She's still going.

'Love and protect them fiercely at all costs?'
She's thrown her parents to the dogs on numerous occasions. The main one being they stood back and watched she and her son starve for a couple of years.

It’s obviously not possible to feed 3 people for £20 a week on the types of food Jack uses and the meals she cooks. As everyone is saying it is playing into the hands of everyone who says the poor should just budget better.

Plenty of people all over the world eat for less and but they will have a totally different diet (eg not convenience foods, sliced bread, packs of butter). I live in the Middle East but I’ve been to places like India, Sri Lanka and Vietnam and eaten really well and cheaply by eating what local people eat- eg seasonal veg, hardly any meat, lots of careful herb and spice blends. You can eat a balanced diet but it’s not a western way of eating: I’ve had curry served for breakfast a lot and rice with a lot of meals. Protein can come from chickpeas or eggs or tofu or other pulses if you are cutting down costs and can’t afford meat or fish.

All this said it should be totally unnecessary to be suggesting that people in the UK, one of the wealthiest countries in the world Should have millions of people not able to heat their homes or eat properly. Pretending that if you can feed a family of 3 by doing maverick things with tins is covering up the problem.
