Ahem. Coming from the past to ask if PLEASE we can have this as the next thread title!
I'm not sure it was ever retracted. It's been on every print version we've seen (inc. the hardback proof copy on Jack's shelf in early Nov, the paperback review copy in mid-Nov, and the version on sale in the shops). Early publicity images featured it, but it was missing from the cover mockups provided to booksellers and used for the bookshop.org x Trussell Trust promotion. Most of those cover shots were updated in late Dec to include it again, although Amazon doesn't seem to have updated the image on their site.
I think it's as likely to have been a screw-up by whoever made the images at Bluebird, but who knows what was going on behind the scenes...
The quote is still on the cover of the published book but it's missing from some of the publicity photos.
If I were a betting frau, I would say he's softly, gently cancelling her, not by a big public spat, but just quietly, behind the scenes. I'd further say it was something to do with the literary festival in September where he was supposed to interview her, she turned up hours late, and they had to fill in the gap with interviewing someone from a local foodie business who happened to be in the audience.
He hasn't interacted with her on Twitter since then, anyway.
Thinking further on this, I know they keenly go after plumbers and other tradies, yet seem to be very shy of actual boss-level tax dodgers. Perhaps they can work their way up to the bosses by slaying some “influencers”/“internet personalities” like Jack to build their confidence first?! The likes of Jack, Hinch, and various other low- to medium-grade grifters must have had so much undeclared income and corresponding luxury lifestyle purchases they’ve flaunted all over social media that it’s got to be fairly easy for a team of money detectives to investigate influencers? Maybe they could be the real “Celebrity Squad”!
Wouldn’t matter, Jack would just call her a VILE TROLL whatever it was.Well I just had to google who Jay Rayner's mother was! I wonder what advice she'd have given Jack
I've been listening to a few of his ‘Out
To Lunch’ podcasts - I'm a bit unsure if I like him, but he's a decent interviewer. Strangely, he doesn't seem to have an episode with Jack. Makes you think.
"Now listen luvvie, stop being such a twit!"Well I just had to google who Jay Rayner's mother was! I wonder what advice she'd have given Jack
She'd have seen through Jack in thirty seconds flat.
We can't grey rock.... I'd have to do housework, real work, find something to fill my days and nights with again. Shan't.
I use an app on the fire stick called Bee TV with a VPN 
Yes the Bristol Festival, which she was so late for, seems to be the last time he mentioned her. He didn't hand her award over at the Observer Food Awards thingy either.
He does appear to have a short temper, on twitter at least. And in comments under his Guardian column. I can't imagine lack of professionalism and being dicked around endeared her to him. Conjecture - maybe she appeared in Bristol high as a kite to steady her nerves, and he doesn't want to be associated with her because of it.
Plus slagging off Fingers Kerridge would not have helped.
Bloody genius Frau, I am sending you cashos in return for perhaps a postcard with a little diagram of a sofa, you and some explanatory signage? X
Thanks for explaining! What a strange mystery.
Much like Jack's ever evolving hair.

BOULECHAAAAAARD
Yes indeed, they do like people to give as much detail as possible though, so as to use their resources better.
So instead of saying "she has a paypal account" say "she has a paypal account - insert the email identifier, and if possible show screenshots of begging/fundraising/teemill. They move slowly, but they move inexorably.
Yes, it's the type of gear that requires considered purchasing after spending time gaining experience.Mr KitKat and I went wild camping/swimming in the summer and it absolutely fucked us.
No way Jack could do it if she struggles with stairs/nor could she afford the necessary stuff to do it comfortably with her kid if she’s that skint
Jack would either kit herself out like Little House on the Prairie or requires a helicopter search.
Saw a squig earlier giving a gentle reminder about weather and was like, nooo!! Let her go. Hopefully she may be some time
She really gets obliterated with the facts and receipts every tweet now. She'd do better turning on replies from anyone rather than just from ppl she follows cos then ppl quote tweet instead which goes to everyone they follow instead of just jack. She has the business acumen of a garden gnome.
Still no promo for the cat litter liner of a book.
