Just stopping for a piss and a sandwich and not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed there hasn't been a hot take about todays mini budget. No doubt its coming in the next 48 hours once others have already thought of it. Its amazing how such a well known poverty campaigner can be so absent during these times.

She's just a bleep, and the sooner she's cancelled, the better for everyone.
Clue: there is none. Jack Monroe only speaks out to serve herself.
That’s a good point. I did hesitate before voting, as I’m also not the target audience - then saw the avalanche of Jackolytes telling her they’d voted after she tweeted, encouraging them to vote for her. The AUDACITY. So, I voted.I note she's left the comments open on that Pink News tweet, rather than restricting them to thecomments club
Trying to drown out criticism with a flood of positive replies? I also note she didn't tag in Pink News, which seems a bit rude, since it's their awards.
Everyone voting for her instead of the actual campaigners in that link need to give their heads a wobble.
I'm not Pink News' target audience so I don't feel comfortable voting.
It is especially odd when they haven’t even put her on the promo photo for the category. As though she is a last minute addition and they didn’t have time to add her in.
if you search "thrifty kitchen" on twitter and keep the search to "top" (dependent on your algorithm, of course, but it's a bbc food tweet from 18th january 2021), it is just a short scroll to find that episode of dr rupy's iplayer show where jack sits there dressed as dennis nilsen, honking away about the poverty and tinned tomatoes while rupy patiently makes quite a nice looking jambalaya 
Jeepers, there’s over a kilo of cheese in this! It does sound lovely but also my arteries are getting clogged just looking at it.I randomly caught Joss Stone of all people making Mac and Cheese on Lorraine yesterday and look how much more natural she was than 'literally my job' Jack:

Jack has retweeted a David Lammy "joke" about trickle down economics. It involves maths but no evidence of Pythagoras.
I assume she is furiously, yet gently penning a luke warm take on the budget?

Insisted that lesbians shag cis men?
(Not getting into a GC debate here. Whatever your stance I'm sure we can all agree that that's just bleeping ridiculous)
Harry McGraw took multiple punches to his face, threats to his life, and a load of abuse off everyone and still got up to get the job done. Jack could learn something from him.
JB would never be her friend either, JB is a REAL bestselling author, pals.
Jack doesn't think fish are friends though.
There you go Jacko, that’s what FORENSIC looks like. Marm, receipt keeper extraordinaire
She's probably struggling because she knows as soon as mentions tax the squigs will descend.
Hmm I think the Pink News awards are a fix, Linda Riley probably got her bunged in at the last minute in exchange for a burger.
She can't make a useful comment because she's busy with 26 hours of prepping for tomorrows little talk. Also because she can't.
Things J doesn't understand
~Words
~Food tech (eg why dehydrating boiled fruit in a slow cooker isn't jam)
~Economics (all of it)
~eye peas
~The law
~Train timetables

I see she’s just going with the tactic of retweeting people who have a vague idea what they’re talking about, rather than commenting herself and therefore making it clear that she has no idea what she’s talking about.
Honestly she’s a truly awful ‘anti poverty’ campaigner. She doesn’t even take the time to read up on the basics. I reckon with a couple of tweets I could help more people than she does.

Linda Riley has written at least one column for pink news so guaranteed she has friends there.
Diva publishes a Pro Jack fluff piece, gets push back.
Few days later jack is nominated for LGBT activist award at Pink News, no mention of any particular activism she's done.
Linda Riley connected to both publications...
If I was a suspicious sort, which I am, I'd call shenanigans. Don't be surprised if Jack wins. Friends of friends of friends.
I mean I personally don't mind that much, I've posted enough of their tweets here, but keep up properly for context if you're gonna
