Well considering the smeg doesn’t live in the kitchen and all these dried goods look as though the are outside of the kitchen
you didn’t 'lose' your eggs, you didn’t buy any, and now you've been pulled up on it, you’re back peddling

So she doesn't work for them and is just a nobody from the internet but has regular meetings at Head Office... yet doesn't know if they're Tory donors or not... but still thinks she might be able to influence them to both open a chain of local shops and rethink their political donations
The reckon is looking very chinny on the Asda front.
But last time she did a performative shop someone asked her how much she would spend if she wasn’t adding her own store cupboard items to bulk it up and she replied “still £20”, and probably added an upside down smiley and a go well pal for extra passive aggressive BS. She needs to do a £20 shop, then provide at the very least ingredient lists for all the nutritional meals for a whole week she plans to make, hell I’d be generous and let her use herbs, spices, vinegar and oil from her own stock. Either come up with the goods and prove once and for all that it’s possible to feed two or three on £20 a week or shut up about it. (Of course it’s not possible so she never will.)
Fellow Fraus. Instead of doing my taxes this weekend I decided to calculate the total calories of Jack's glorious shop. Yes, I am bored. An average (low activity) male needs 2,500 a day, a women 2,000 a day and a boy aged 9-13 2,500 a day so 50,000 calories for a seven day period in total. Jack's shop doesn't even cover half of the recommended intake. It is even short for two people (32,000 for a boy and women). For processed food I have used exactly the Asda website numbers. I am also assuming absolutely nothing is chopped of the vegetables. Hoping I don't get sued for libel for this ground-breaking analysis.
Are we sure this is Jack Monroe? I see a review for Dishoom in Edinburgh, but not one for Five Guys or the Rose Street Sainsbo's?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?
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.
My god, just
duck
Great point and neither would I, she has an account on https://www.komoot.com/ (an adventure planner) using this Google account, as well as Deliveroo
. Makes you think.
I’ve been out liberally feeding the pot plants and having a think.
She has an ED
She presents all her food (except smoothies) in baby sized portions on child size crockery with teeny cutlery HUGE RED FLAG
Her food shop is so cheap because she’s not providing enough for normal human consumption. HUGE RED FLAG
She refuses to provide calorific info due to her ED. CONTINENT SIZED RED FLAG
She nevertheless claims her food is nutritious and filling
She presents all the above as normal and herself as an expert.
Someone as messed up as this should NOT be misadvising the nation with what looks increasingly like a pro ANA agenda although I strongly suspect she binges

Her veganism comes as quickly as it goes.
The dog is trying desperately to stage an intervention. Go well, Content

Qestion re chinny reckons. Do you grab your chin with thumb and forefinger then pull it down like you're pretending to stroke a beard? This was what we did in my (Australian) school but we called it Benny Beards, used to indicate bullshit. The longer the pretend beard the bigger the BS. This has been bugging me for ages, lmao.
Re "chinny reckons" - when I was at school it was also referred to as "Jimmy" as in Jimmy Hill, football commentator with a little pointy chin beard. I'm not sure if he was given to fabrication or he just happened to have the right shaped beard.
Absolutely crying laughing at the highlighted one:Great point and neither would I, she has an account on https://www.komoot.com/ (an adventure planner) using this Google account, as well as Deliveroo
Yes. Accompanied by ‘Billeeee’ (billy goat gruff) in my experience
For any new fraus:
(Lake District pics can be found on Jack's Instagram. I can't be arsed scrolling for them, but they are on there and on here. Not worth the effort of seeking them out, tbh)
