Imagine having to say “Oh, that’s lovely!” and try to appear as if you mean it because you know if you’re not appreciative enough there’s a chance that the bowl of slop art might get flung across the room. Then you have to eat it. All of it. While she watches.
My suspicious nature suspects that she is being protected somewhere by some entity.
She'd have been long forgotten and abandoned by now otherwise.
Whether it's publisher and their influence on print media, the Tories, her exes, Nigella, her agent etc. Could be anyone and all of them in a concerted effort.
The crap she says and the tit she spreads, anyone with a shred of integrity would have dropped her like she was made of lava, but they don't.

If that is true it would explain why she hardly ever gets featured in MM in a critical light.
Yep, probably all she'd need to do is once a month, when the money lands, say "thank you my darling squigs, last month you enabled my lifestyle and so I was able to schmooze with Google execs and Tweet all night through, next month I have plans to speak somewhere, please come along if you're able, and if not, tune into SM at 4am for more strange posting".
Yeah, agree with @Yel that’s nonsense. And even if it were true, what about the third newspaper that was ready to go with it but that isn’t aligned with her publisher? What’s their reason for not publishing? Because of the newspaper code of conduct where papers hold off because it’s not fair to have a scoop other papers can’t publish?! FFS!Sounds like total BS.
Yes, she published her books with the big 5 publishers.
But the big publishers aren't spending time, effort and favours protecting a very minor author that only sold a few thousand copys of their last book that came out a couple of years ago. That's not how it works at all.
I don't think so - Bluebird is part of Pan Macmillan, which is owned by a German publishing group with no direct interest in any major UK newspaper that I know of.
Macmillan in the US is owned by Pearson, who used to own the FT and part-own the Economist but don't any more.
Sounds like they're confused or have got their wires crossed somewhere.
Can we also add Social Media Ghoul?
Which I saw in an earlier post, Mrs Peel I think...
Tacky as this, still better than where my imagination was going. Thought she'd put the dogs ashes in her porridge!
I agree that I don’t think she’s high profile enough for the big news outlets. Outside of Twitter people mainly just have vague memories of her as someone who writes/once wrote cookbooks for people on a budget, if they’ve heard of her at all. She hasn’t published anything for years, and when she did it got barely any interest. Added to that she’s got the ‘protection’ of the vocal left wingers on Twitter, and people vaguely just assume that she ‘means well’, so I don’t think there’s going to be a massive expose.
The smaller stuff chips away at her grift, though.

As I said before the account is a bit odd, so I'm inclined to take it with a pinch of salt, I was just interested in the claim regarding ownership.
I feel for you, I really do. I had actually realised my family member was a narc and after a nuclear outburst of narc rage from them have 'grey rocked' them ever since, although I didn't know that was the term for it. We have to communicate occasionally as we're sorting out an inheritance but it's only by email. It has been blissful not having to deal with their dramas, the constant spiteful put-downs and the feeling of walking on eggshells in every conversation.
Jack's insta crossover is going well I see! I wonder what she'll dare to post next.
Me waiting for the big takedown moment. C'mon media peeps!!
Eta, I asked for hats on Friday and look what happened!! I will go back to
manifesting quietly.

I thought it was because he looks like Big Dave!
Making massive portions of food for other people and pixie portions for yourself is... a thing.
I think the 'publisher conflict of interest' commentator is a sock run by a mildly popular anonymous middle of the road political commentator, followed by a couple of frau, who has noticed Jack over the years but never by name before, and would know what he is talking about, and called out her tactics generically in 2017 - in fact it is their pinned tweet. But it still doesn't make sense. Was there ever three papers looking to get the credit for taking down a Z list left winger?
Having followed this thread since mid 2020 I have to say the overall experience has been like watching bleeping Sunset Beach or something. First few seasons start off normally enough and then the drama just keeps ramping up and up until you've got evil twins and haunted paintings or, in our case, Georgia Church Suppers and whatever the hell has happened these past few weeks. What a journey it's been.
Yeah wouldn’t Louisa do a 20 mile cycle for fun? Or was this giant slop horror bowl phase in lockdown?
I see her running the 'Dallas play', suddenly re-emerge and say all the episodes for the last ten years were a fugue state dream, and pretend it never happened.
